I think the esprima-fb error is a bug in npm, which is installing the wrong version of that module.
$ vi /Users/marcelk/Developer/apache/cordova-lib/cordova-lib/node_modules/cordova-js/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/derequire/node_modules/esprima-fb/package.json "version": "6001.1.0-dev-harmony-fb", $ vi /Users/marcelk/Developer/apache/cordova-lib/cordova-lib/node_modules/cordova-js/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/derequire/package.json "dependencies": { "esprima-fb": "^3001.1.0-dev-harmony-fb" }, When running "npm shrinkwrap" it will fail if the version installed in node_modules differs from what is specified in the parent package.json. That is what the error means. Not sure why this is happening, but bumping browserify to a recent version (which gets rid of the derequire dependency) in cordova-js clears it up. Hmm, why does cordova-lib have a dependency on cordova-js?
