Description
Hi,
I am running corepack on Node v19.9.0 and Arch Linux 6.3.1 and I can't enable it:
$ pacman -S node npm
$ corepack enable
Internal Error: EACCES: permission denied, symlink '../lib/node_modules/corepack/dist/pnpm.js' -> '/usr/bin/pnpm'
Error: EACCES: permission denied, symlink '../lib/node_modules/corepack/dist/pnpm.js' -> '/usr/bin/pnpm'
Should this be reported on some Arch Linux channel or it's a corepack issue?
Thanks
