Windows pngquant failed to build in a gatsby project

I have a gatsby react project that I have been adding packages to the default template. But one ore more of those packages seems to be incompatible with gatsby. I remove the node_modules and yarn.lock file and invoking yarn install yields

error C:\Users\RKevi\source\repos\gatsby-garb\node_modules\pngquant-bin: Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: node lib/install.js
Arguments:
Directory: C:\Users\RKevi\source\repos\gatsby-garb\node_modules\pngquant-bin
Output:
‼ Response code 500 (Internal Server Error)
  ‼ pngquant pre-build test failed
  i compiling from source
  × Error: pngquant failed to build, make sure that libpng-dev is installed
    at C:\Users\RKevi\source\repos\gatsby-garb\node_modules\bin-build\node_modules\execa\index.js:231:11

I know it is related to the packages I install because if I create a fresh gatsby project with gatsby new MyNewGatsbyProject and copy the package.json from the project that is failing the new project also fails to execute yarn install without error. Has anyone had experience with this error building pngquant in a gatsby project?

Seems to be an issue with Github being down. The error is a 500, the exact same you get when visiting Github.
