Getting npm ERR! ENOTDIR: not a directory while installing package which depends on another

Note: I have latest npm and node versions. I have tried the answers provided in npm install error ENOTDIR but didn't work for me.

I need to install 2 npm modules got as .tgz packages on NodeRed

1. x.tgz

2. y.tgz

I could install the first package using npm install path/to/x.tgz

I used the same command npm install path/to/y.tgz command but I am getting following error.

malintha@malintha-VirtualBox:~/.node-red$ sudo npm install path/to/y.tgz 



npm ERR! path path/to/y.tgz/x.tgz



npm ERR! code ENOTDIR

npm ERR! errno -20

npm ERR! syscall stat

npm ERR! ENOTDIR: not a directory, stat 'path/to/y.tgz/x.tgz'

According to the error log, y module is looking for x.tgz inside it. Then I checked the package.json of y.tgz artefact.

I can see it has x.tgz as the dependency inside it, but it don't have x.tgz inside it.

 "dependencies": {

    "@abc/pqr": "file:x.tgz",

    "ajv": "^6.5.1",

    "debug": "^3.1.0"

  }

According to the instructions, it should be fine if I install the x.tgz and then y.tgz. I could install these x and y some time back but now I cannot install it.

What might be the root cause for this issue?
Is this npm and node versions related issue?

I'm re-writing this answer after deleting my old answer. I tested it with and node v11.6.0 and npm v4.5.0-next.0 on Linux.

To install y.tgz, I tried as below:

I copied both tgz files in the same directory.

I modified package.json of y.tgz as below:

"dependencies": {

    "@abc/pqr": "file:../x.tgz",

    "ajv": "^6.5.1",

    "debug": "^3.1.0"

}

dependencies supports file: + relative path or absolute path.

So, you can choose anyone as your development condition.

Copying both tgz files into the same directory, to where I am installing those solved the issue.
