Update to 2.0 - Ghost-CLI was unable to load versions from Yarn

Update from Ghost 1.25.5 to latest 2.0 – I’ve already done a migration from 0.11.x, and things seem to be running fine in there, but I get this failure running ghost update:

I’m using a sqlite3 db. Migrating all of this stuff over from a different debian installation to Ubuntu, but this is basically a scratch config after installing a 1.25.5 version via ghost-cli.

I will be running two ghost instances on this server – one of them, already at 2.0.3, was configured already in a separate directory, and it was running fine – that blog didn’t have much content to migrate so I just recreated it by hand.

Has anyone seen this error before? Is it perhaps just a temporary thing with Yarn?

Looks like it was a temporary issue. I tried again and it works.

Yep. Works for me now as well. And now I’m up to 2.1.0.
