Current behavior:

The cli doesn't initialize a new orb.

$ circleci orb init packages/my-orb --private  
Once an orb is created it cannot be deleted. Orbs are semver compliant, and each published version is immutable. Publicly released orbs are potential dependencies for other projects.
Therefore, allowing orb deletion would make users susceptible to unexpected loss of functionality.
? Would you like to perform an automated setup of this orb? No, just download the template.
Downloading Orb Project Template into packages/my-orb
Error: Unexpected error: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type []cmd.orbProtectTemplateRelease

Expected behavior:

A new orb should be initialized.

When did this begin / Was this previously working?:

It has worked previously - don't know when it started failing, as I don't create many new orbs from.
