`deno run` looks for dependency in the wrong place | Deno | Page 1

```shell $ deno run npm:svelte-check error: Module not found "file:///home/berzi/projects/myproj/home/berzi/.cache/deno/npm/registry.npmjs.org/svelte-check/4.3.1/bin/svelte-check". ``` - Any other `deno run` command with a dependency fails similarly. - `deno run` with a HTTP URL like `deno run https://docs.deno.com/examples/scripts/hello_world.ts` works fine. - I have no explicitly set `DENO_DIR` or `DENO_INSTALL_DIR`. - I already tried `deno clean`. - In the path in the error, what strikes me as sus is that `/home/berzi` appears twice, once at the start (seems correct), and once after the `myproj` directory (seems weird: I obviously don't have my home dir there). Since I don't set any cache dir or anything, I don't know why Deno would look in that weird path. For clarity, my `$HOME` also isn't set to anything weird that could make the path be interpreted as relative: ```shell $ echo $HOME /home/berzi ``` Any ideas?

deno run with a HTTP URL like deno run https://docs.deno.com/examples/scripts/hello_world.ts works fine.

$ echo $HOME
/home/berzi

Any ideas?

That sounds like a bug. Can you file an issue for that https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues ?
