Duplicate of #1882

Did this change recently? We were building on a pinned version and this suddenly began to fail as well.

    "sharp": "0.19.0",

apt install libvips-dev solves the issue on ubuntu.

There have been no changes to sharp or the prebuilt binaries since 29th July.

I've received about 30 emails and notifications about this problem within the last hour so would expect this to relate to a (transient) dependency that has been published within the last couple of hours.

Let's track this at #1882

i recently update sharp to 0.31.1 and it works.

"sharp": "^0.31.1",
