We also started getting an error during NPM builds today. It looks some API call fails with a 503 status code.

It looks like raw.github.com is having issues. This URL throws a 503: https://raw.github.com/imagemin/pngquant-bin/v5.0.1/vendor/

Same issue for my team. We require successful builds on all code changes, and this dependency of a dependency...etc. has all but brought our team to a complete halt.

Here, another one blocked by this dependency

You have to install manually.

On linux:

apt-get install libpng-dev -y --no-install-recommends
