jspdf install fails due to github branch referenced as dependency

[RHellmann]

The dependency file-saver is currently added as a direct reference to a Github branch. This causes errors during install in some cases and during CI/CD.

when installed, package.json in node-modules shows

"file-saver": "github:eligrey/FileSaver.js#1.3.8",

instead of

"file-saver": "2.0.1",

[RHellmann]

Update: this is a known bug in file-saver 2.0.1 - updating to 2.0.2 should fix this.

This is already done in master with #2333, originally reported here #2208
We are all waiting on a release of v1.5.4 since then but yet still nothing.

Could you pleas let us know what time the release of 1.5.4 will be at?

Same issue in installing v1.5.3

[tombreit]

We're experience this issue in a docker deployment (image python:3.7-slim-buster) and would be glad using an upcoming version (1.5.4?) in which this issue is fixed (like @almercier already mentioned).

[github-actions]

This issue is stale because it has been open 90 days with no activity. It will be closed soon. Please comment/reopen if this issue is still relevant.

Since we see a lot of issues mentioning this problem (docker image without git, cooperate firewall, etc.) a bugfix release (1.5.4?) would be much appreciated.
