Why npm install fails in ArmV7 docker image when installing package globally?

Question

Here is my Dockerfile:

FROM arm32v7/node:8
RUN npm --version
RUN npm install -g yarn

And here is output log:

Sending build context to Docker daemon  65.25MB

The command '/bin/sh -c npm install -g yarn' returned a non-zero code: 7

Any ideas why it's failing? I building image with with commad docker build . -t myimage (I am running docker on Mac OS X).

Please not that it works when installing yarn without "-g" flag.

Also observed with arm64v8/node:carbon on ubuntu-18.04 ... I will update my investigations at: https://github.com/rzr/webthing-iotjs/wiki/Docker — RzR, Mar 01 '19 at 14:57
