npm install fails with E401 about autocomplete-element

[missinglink]

Here's a docker one-liner which can be used to reproduce this issue:

docker run \
  --rm -it \
  -v "${PWD}:/code" \
  --entrypoint='bash' \
  node:latest \
  -c 'cd /code; rm -rf node_modules; npm install'

changing the last line to remove package-lock.json resolves the issue:

-c 'cd /code; rm -rf node_modules; rm package-lock.json; npm install'

something funky is going on with npm, possibly from back when either geocodeearth/autocomplete-element or geocodeearth/core-js were in development and were private.

I noticed for geocodeearth/ge that I needed to add the following settings to my package.json because npm appeared to publish org scoped packages as private by default.

 "publishConfig": {
    "access": "public"
  }

Thank you so much!!! I tried so many other fixes that didn't work and this was the fix! Thanks!
