Can't resolve '../component-index' in '/usr/ports/net-im/element-web/work/element-web-1.7.7/src/vector'

Description

Compiling element-web fails on FreeBSD with the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../component-index'
in '/usr/ports/net-im/element-web/work/element-web-1.7.7/src/vector'

This can be trace back to:
$ node_modules/.bin/reskindex -h src/header
Error moving new index into place: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename 'src/component-index.js.tmp' -> 'src/component-index.js'

Surprisingly, the rename happens before component-index.js.tmp is written out.

This is FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE, node 15.2.0, yarn 1.22.4_1

Note that it used to work before, so I assume something changed in the way node or yarn works.

A quick work around is to run reskindex twice.

Steps to reproduce

In the makefile of my port I have:
do-build:
{
cd ${WRKSRC};
pwd;
yarn install;
cp config.sample.json config.json;
DIST_VERSION="${DISTVERSION}" yarn dist;
rm config.json;
}

The result is that I can't compile element-web anymore.

@phicoh Did you find a solution because I have the same problem with Arch Linux (Manjaro)

I got the same problem on MacOS, but the suggested fix does not work for me
