What is the current behavior?
A project of mine uses yarn and travis-ci. Until yarn 0.17.0, the yarn install process worked correctly on my travis-ci builds. As of 0.17.0, every build on both node 6 and 7 fails with this error:

/home/travis/.nvm/versions/node/v6.9.1/lib/node_modules/yarn/bin/yarn.js:47
      throw err;

I noticed that yarn 0.16.1 was the last version to build correctly so I've reverted to that version in my travis.yml file, and it works again.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
Using the following travis config:

language: node_js
node_js:
  - "7"
  - "6"
before_install:
  - npm install -g webpack yarn
  - yarn -V
install:
  - yarn install

Deploy a project to travis. Any yarn version above 0.17.0 fails.

What is the expected behavior?
It should install packages correctly.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.
yarn 0.17.0+, node 6/7, travis-ci

This was fixed in yarn 0.17.4. Your failing build shows it used yarn 0.17.0. 0.17.4 is available on npm, so give it a shot. Also, duplicate of #1724.
