Palette Manager installation leave invalid tag in package.json

Anyone find a fix for this? I just did a new install on windows with same issues.
Odd thing though, I was able to install "node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket 0.27.4" without any problem. Nothing else i have tried will install via pallet manager. Maybe there is a clue there.
Ok , I don't know if this helps anyone that's smarter than me to figure this out, but i uninstalled the one node package that i was able to install earlier and then i was able to install another random node via the pallet manager. But as soon as i tried to install yet another it gave same invalid tag error, except it referenced the previously installed node. It seems once you install one node or node group then it starts throwing the error and will not allow any more installs . And in my case, i cant install via the command line either, when i try it gives the same error as it does with the pallet manager install.
Hope this helps.
