/cc @nodejs/npm There seems to be an npm bug:

+ /usr/local/bin/node /home/runner/work/node/node/deps/npm/bin/npm-cli.js install --ignore-scripts --install-links=false --no-bin-links --no-save --omit=dev --omit=peer eslint-plugin-jsdoc eslint-plugin-markdown @babel/core @babel/eslint-parser @babel/plugin-syntax-import-attributes
npm ERR! Cannot read properties of null (reading 'explain')

I can't reproduce with this script, however this script is doing several either wrong or meaningless things.

This does nothing:

uninstall --install-links=false --ignore-scripts eslint-plugin-jsdoc eslint-plugin-markdown @babel/core @babel/eslint-parser @babel/plugin-syntax-import-attributes

This is definitely not recommended.

cd node_modules/eslint

What exactly are you trying to do in this script?

As far as the error. I can't reproduce it locally. I get an ERESOLVE which makes sense as the error you see appears to be npm having trouble explaining the ERESOLVE error.

If we can reproduce the error we can fix it. I'd also suggest revisiting your script to see what you are actually wanting it to do here.

The peer conflict I get locally is:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree

If you feel you have a reproducible npm bug please submit an issue.

I can reproduce locally with the update-eslint.sh script, but I'm not sure it makes sense to submit an issue if it's not using npm in a supported way.
