Seems to be a failed package publish…if someone needs an urgent workaround, then pin the dep in package.json

// yarn
"resolutions": {
    "@types/eslint": "8.4.3"
  }

// npm
"overrides": {
    "@types/eslint": "8.4.3"
  }

As per https://status.npmjs.org/incidents/6wr25yb0b2dd, this seems to be fixed. Time to close this issue?

In case you just want to use CRA for a test project or follow along a tutorial, here’s my hack. Make sure you’re using npm 8.3.x or higher:

Create an empty package.json using npm init -y. It doesn’t matter much what’s in the fields.
Add @florianbepunkt’s workaround to the aforementioned file, adding the corresponding "overrides": { "@types/eslint": "8.4.3" } entry.
Run npm install -D create-react-app.
Run npx create-react-app <your-app-name>.
Work inside your-app-name or replace the contents in your base directory with the ones inside your-app-name.
