yarn hangs or outputs Usage Error: Couldn't find the node_modules state file - running an install might help (findPackageLocation) yarnpkg/berry#6398

The Yarn symptom is that it either hangs or if not in interactive mode (CI=true) terminates mid install with exit code 0 (empty event loop) which causes commands run after that to complain that a install hasn't been done.

ah thanks. If I update the wording I'm going to have to rerun the builds. I'm doing some final checks -- if anything comes up and the build needs to change I'll reword otherwise I think we can release as-is and reword afterwards in follow up PRs to the changelog if necessary.

CITGM: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/citgm-smoker/3461/

For some reason, the CITGM job installed citgm@8.1.0 instead of the latest citgm@9.2.2. It wasn't just this job -- the previous jobs appear to have done the same. Some of the failing modules are ones that have been removed from the lookup since 8.1.0 (e.g. bluebird).
