Gitlab CI fails to install and run serverless with

We started to have problems with our Gitlab CI deployments just this week. I am posting this same question on the gitlab forums too but I’d likely have more chances of getting similar issues (and hopefully fix) here than there if anyone’s using Gitlab CI.

$ npm install serverless --save-dev

> spawn-sync@1.0.15 postinstall /builds/rceballosjr/juanride-sls/node_modules/spawn-sync
> node postinstall


> serverless@1.28.0 postinstall /builds/rceballosjr/juanride-sls/node_modules/serverless
> node ./scripts/postinstall.js

Hi I encounter the same problem when I install other dependencies, how do you solve this issue?
