Description

Adding a platform or plugin from the registry will fail if the package was not previously downloaded/cached on the machine.

Steps to recreate:

• Delete the contents of ~/.plugman
• Add a new plugin to an existing cordova app, cordova plugin add <plugin id>
  OR
• Delete the contents of ~/.cordova/lib/npm_cache
• Create a new cordova app
• Add a platform to the app, e.g. cordova platform add android

Examples of the errors:
