checksum issue on newer OS

[dynst]

$ YARN_CHECKSUM_BEHAVIOR=throw yarn install
➤ YN0018: │ @types/estree@npm:0.0.51: The remote archive doesn't match the local checksum - has the local cache been corrupted?

There's this inexplicable yarn cache checksum issue discovered in #1622 / b353626

# Note that ubuntu-2004:202111-02 and above cause checksum issues when installing yarn packages. No idea why.

It can be sort of papered over using the environment variable YARN_CHECKSUM_BEHAVIOR=ignore but it's really unclear why it happens at all.

If the cache files are different, this seems likely to be Git-LFS related? It's finding text files instead of the binary files that git-lfs replaces them with. Like it says in HACKING.md:

If you installed git-lfs after cloning this repo, use this command to replace the links with the original files: git lfs fetch && git lfs checkout.

Hmm, I cannnot reproduce on Mac. I tried the existing checkout, new checkout and upgrading all the git suite.

On which OS are you seeing this?

I only reported this to document that you were seeing this, back in January. I quoted your comment at the time.

It was blocking the upgrade to a newer CI image.

I see an issue if I use a new machine that I forget to setup git-lfs on.

I don't see issues like this on any of the GitHub Actions jobs. So I guess we can close after migrating all jobs there.
