React-Select version - 2.4.3 error while npm install

I am working on a pretty old project and it uses React Select - 2.4.3
We are using Node Version - 6.17.1
and npm version - 3.10.10

it was running smooth until from a few days back, we are having issues in building the frontend for production.

when I run npm install --production , after a while it throws an error. The error is given below.

npm ERR! Linux 6.2.0-39-generic
npm ERR! argv "/home/shahriar/.nvm/versions/node/v6.17.1/bin/node" "/home/shahriar/.nvm/versions/node/v6.17.1/bin/npm" "install" "--production"
npm ERR! node v6.17.1
npm ERR! npm  v3.10.10

npm ERR! syscall open

npm ERR! ENOTDIR: not a directory, open '/home/shahriar/aquila-new/PCMS/node_modules/.staging/@types/parse-json-f432fd30/package.json'

if I remove the react-select, it will not throw this error. so I am pretty much sure that this issue is triggering because of React-Select.

I have also tried with a brand new package.json file where the only dependency is react-select. This is the package.json file

{
  "name": "select-only",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
          "react-select": "^2.4.3"
  }
}

I used
node version 6.17.1
npm version 3.10.10

It shows the same above error.

Reproduce the failure with Node 6.17.1, npm 3.10.10, react-select ^2.4.3, and the minimal package.json shown in the issue. Start with npm install --production and compare the failing node_modules/.staging/@types/parse-json-f432fd30/package.json path; done means the cause is identified and installation succeeds or the incompatibility is documented.
