You can also pin using yarn resolutions in package.json.

Is there a workaround?

So far I’ve seen downgrading flow-typed (if one can) to v2.6.2 which uses an earlier major semver version, or manually pinning semver to a known good version in yarn.lock such as:

semver@^7.1.3:
  version "7.1.3"
  ...

Should be fixed as of v3.2.1

Please comment if not.

Is there an alternative workaround for those who don’t use yarn?

gwing33 on Jul 10, 2020

It looks like the “bug” from semver isn’t going to be fixed.

how do you run “flow-typed install” it still gives me the error

michaelrodov on Jul 11, 2020

Also running into this and is a blocker for me upgrading from v2 -> v3 of flow-typed

kylepeeler on Jul 8, 2020

Should be fixed as of v3.2.0

Please comment if not.
