Ghost-CLI version: 1.21.0
Ghost version: 4.48.2 (at /var/www/ghost/www.reposium.com)

So, I have 2 versions of the binary ghost installed : 

$ ls -l /usr/bin/ghost /usr/local/bin/ghost
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Jul 12 01:14 /usr/bin/ghost -> ../lib/node_modules/ghost-cli/bin/ghost
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 May 24  2021 /usr/local/bin/ghost -> ../share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin/ghost

by default the /usr/local/bin one is the one chosen (because of my PATH) .

It seems that the problem is coming from a mix of yarn and npm usage ?

$ npm list -g --depth=0
/usr/lib
├── corepack@0.10.0
├── ghost-cli@1.21.0
├── ghost-static-site-generator@1.0.1
├── gulp-cli@2.3.0
└── npm@8.13.2

I think this is the source of this :

$ ghost doctor

Some features of Ghost-CLI may not work without additional configuration.
For local installs we recommend using `ghost install local` instead.

This is the problem. Use one or the other. Make sure you set the global prefix, i.e., /usr or /usr/local

Either change your $PATH or the prefix. For the latter, you’ll have to reinstall global packages, so symlinks are recreated.
