lodash-amd installs 3.5.3 for ~3.5.0, but npm doesn't see this version

[nazar-pc]

It looks like version installed by fxp/composer-asset-plugin is just copied from GitHub (the same contents as here), however, NPM only knows following versions (no 3.5.3):

npm ERR! notarget No compatible version found: lodash-amd@3.5.3
npm ERR! notarget Valid install targets:
npm ERR! notarget 4.16.4, 4.16.3, 4.16.2, 4.16.1, 4.16.0, 4.15.0, 4.14.2, 4.14.1, 4.14.0, 4.13.1, 4.13.0, 4.12.0, 4.11.2, 4.11.1, 4.11.0, 4.10.0, 4.9.0, 4.8.2, 4.8.0, 4.7.0, 4.6.1, 4.6.0, 4.5.1, 4.5.0, 4.4.0, 4.3.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.0, 4.1.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.0, 3.10.2, 3.10.1, 3.10.0, 3.9.3, 3.9.2, 3.9.0, 3.8.0, 3.7.0, 3.6.0, 3.5.0, 3.4.0, 3.3.1, 3.3.0, 3.2.0, 3.1.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.0, 2.3.0, 2.2.1, 2.2.0, 2.1.0, 2.0.0

Moreover, installing 3.5.0 using NPM results in very different contents of the lodash-amd directory:

$ cat package.json              
{
  "_args": [
    [
      {
        "raw": "lodash-amd@3.5",
        "scope": null,
        "escapedName": "lodash-amd",
        "name": "lodash-amd",
        "rawSpec": "3.5",
        "spec": ">=3.5.0 <3.6.0",
        "type": "range"
      },
      "/media/Data/tmp"
    ]
  ],
  "_from": "lodash-amd@>=3.5.0 <3.6.0",
  "_id": "lodash-amd@3.5.0",
...
$ ls                            
compat/  LICENSE.txt  main.js  modern/  package.json  README.md

lodash-amd in my scenario is a dependency of npm-asset/scribe-plugin-sanitizer ^0.1 which I'm trying to install.
However, when I require it explicitly:

... requires npm-asset/lodash-amd 3.5.3 -> no matching package found

[nazar-pc]

When added npm-asset/lodash-amd 3.5.0 dependency in addition to npm-asset/scribe-plugin-sanitizer ^0.1 it finally installed correct version.

[francoispluchino]

$ composer require npm-asset/lodash-amd:3.5.0

This command works. On the other hand, the v3.5.3 is not registered in NPM, and the Github tags are formatted with -npm-packages, it's for this reason that you cannot install this version.

[nazar-pc]

Yes, it works when you install package directly. But try to install npm-asset/scribe-plugin-sanitizer:^0.1.

[nazar-pc]

Another example - for npm-asset/scribe-plugin-inline-styles-to-elements ^0.1 I'm getting source from 0.1.1 tag (which is the same as bower install scribe-plugin-inline-styles-to-elements#^0.1), but NPM only has 0.1.0 version with completely different source.

In this case it feels like this plugin sometimes installs Bower packages (or suitable Git tags) even when NPM package is required.
