Hello,

I’ve been using Turbo (great thing btw!) for over a year without any issues by linking a module from Skypack

```auto
import * as Turbo from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@hotwired/turbo'

```

Recetly (not sure for how long) it fails to load leaving this in the Javascript console:

```auto
[Package Error] "@hotwired/turbo@v8.0.1" could not be built. 
[1/5] Verifying package is valid…
[2/5] Installing dependencies from npm…
[3/5] Building package using esinstall…
Running esinstall...
Failed to load node_modules/@hotwired/turbo/dist/turbo.es2017-esm.js
  Unexpected token (873:8) in @hotwired/turbo/dist/turbo.es2017-esm.js
Install failed.
Install failed.

```

When I try to load the [https://cdn.skypack.dev/@hotwired/turbo](https://cdn.skypack.dev/@hotwired/turbo) to see what is going on, the request gets redirected to [https://cdn.skypack.dev/error/build:@hotwired/turbo@v8.0.1-8SHedfKhkkSjEr7MprHB](https://cdn.skypack.dev/error/build:@hotwired/turbo@v8.0.1-8SHedfKhkkSjEr7MprHB) and serves this content:

```auto
/*
 * [Package Error] "@hotwired/turbo@v8.0.1" could not be built. 
 *
 * [1/5] Verifying package is valid…
 * [2/5] Installing dependencies from npm…

 * Install failed.
 * Install failed.
 *
 * How to fix:
 * - If you believe this to be an error in Skypack, file an issue here: https://github.com/skypackjs/skypack-cdn/issues
 * - If you believe this to be an issue in the package, share this URL with the package authors to help them debug & fix.
 * - Use https://skypack.dev/ to find a web-friendly alternative to find another package.

console.warn("[Package Error] \"@hotwired/turbo@v8.0.1\" could not be built. \n[1/5] Verifying package is valid…\n[2/5] Installing dependencies from npm…\n[3/5] Building package using esinstall…\nRunning esinstall...\nFailed to load node_modules/@hotwired/turbo/dist/turbo.es2017-esm.js\n Unexpected token (873:8) in @hotwired/turbo/dist/turbo.es2017-esm.js\nInstall failed.\nInstall failed.");
throw new Error("[Package Error] \"@hotwired/turbo@v8.0.1\" could not be built. ");
export default null;

```

Is it a skypack issue?

Grateful in advance for any kind of assistance!

This issue persists even with version 8.0.2 to which it redirects at the moment.

Issue still is still there with version 8.0.5. Still `Unexpected Error: Build was successful but could not be found.`

There is a workaround here, maybe it helps [Turbo 8 cannot be loaded from skypack.dev · Issue #1172 · hotwired/turbo · GitHub](https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/issues/1172)
