Update:
My guess is this either has to be solved in the nodebb/package.json or in the npm configuration for the two theme modules.
Here is what you get when you try to npm install with the included nodebb/package.json:
npm ERR! notarget No compatible version found: nodebb-theme-vanilla@'>=2.0.19 <3.0.0'
npm ERR! notarget ["0.0.1", ... ,"2.0.10","2.0.11","2.0.12","2.0.13","2.0.14","2.0.15","2.0.16","3.0.0","3.0.1"]
and if I fix the nodebb-theme-persona version, I get this on the next npm install` right now:
npm ERR! notarget No compatible version found: nodebb-theme-vanilla@'>=2.0.19 <3.0.0'
npm ERR! notarget Valid install targets:
npm ERR! notarget ["0.0.1",...,"2.0.1","2.0.2","2.0.3","2.0.4","2.0.5","2.0.6","2.0.7","2.0.8","2.0.9","2.0.10","2.0.11","2.0.12","2.0.13","2.0.14","2.0.15","2.0.16","3.0.0","3.0.1"]
I was able to fix this by altering my nodebb/package.json from:
"nodebb-theme-persona": "^1.0.24",
"nodebb-theme-vanilla": "^2.0.19",
to
"nodebb-theme-persona": "^1.0.21",
"nodebb-theme-vanilla": "^2.0.16",
What is very strange:
npm info nodebb-theme-persona:
versions:
...
'1.0.14',
'1.0.15',
'1.0.16',
'1.0.17',
'1.0.18',
'1.0.19',
'1.0.20',
'1.0.21',
'2.0.0',
'2.0.1',
'2.0.2',
'2.0.3' ],
time:
...
'1.0.19': '2015-07-27T19:34:23.624Z',
'1.0.20': '2015-07-28T13:34:58.458Z',
'1.0.21': '2015-07-28T14:12:42.725Z',
'1.0.22': '2015-07-29T16:42:57.039Z',
'1.0.23': '2015-07-29T16:59:15.254Z',
'1.0.24': '2015-07-29T19:21:23.722Z',
'1.0.25': '2015-07-29T20:49:05.755Z',
'1.0.26': '2015-07-30T19:25:36.378Z',
'2.0.0': '2015-08-04T14:41:11.480Z',
'2.0.1': '2015-08-04T14:50:34.904Z',
'2.0.2': '2015-08-06T20:40:24.259Z',
'2.0.3': '2015-08-07T04:36:23.502Z' },
Notice the all show up under the time field of , but not under the versions field. I'm fairly sure this is why npm install doesn't find a suitable version of the npm modules / nodebb plugins to install.
Output from npm info nodebb-theme-vanilla:

'3.0.1': '2015-08-04T14:49:45.409Z' },
Notice the npm install errors come from versions missing, but there are keys in the time dict.
