Search this ↑ and you will see many many similar posts.

The solution is simply to delete the offending dir. In your case /data/node_modules/.interra-io-background-services-tFKKQ3t3

I solved the problem. What I want to ask is what causes this problem. For example, I encounter this problem when uploading a new tgz file from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2. Is it related to the project's package.json? Why does it add --tFKKQ3t3 to the old file? Is this related to npm?

Yes.... and no.

This usually happens when an npm command (e.g. npm install xyz) get terminated before it is finished - typically due to slow (or interrupted) internet, manual interruption (ctrl+c), crash etc.
