Are you sure, that you do not use an NPM proxy with an incomplete package database instead of npmjs.org?

Enquiring npmjs.org show that the version is available:

❯ npm get registry

Try it with node v12 please?

I get this:

I'm afraid that I can't reproduce it with Node.js 12.

You should consider upgrading to a supported Node.js version, preferably a LTS, but I doubt that this problem will disappear.

You got an error "incorrect data check". It looks like a corrupted package archive. You could also try downloading and testing it:
