NextJS & Sharp library compatibility issue

UPDATE: NextJS v10.0.8 fixes this issue! If you're running into the above error: upgrade to the 10.0.8 (or beyond).

For those of you running the latest greatest of NextJS -- you may run into the following error while upgrading: Error: Cannot find module 'sharp'

So what is going on?

The required sharp dependency introduced with NextJS 10.0.5 has broken builds that depend on the underlying libvips, which isn't there in various Linux distros. Vercel is working on making the dependency optional. Relevant PR here and here. Related issue here. This may be easier than trying to get libvips installed or compiled on your machine (I simply couldn't get it to work on my Amazon EC2 ARM-based machine). You can downgrade to NextJS 10.0.3 in the meantime. I think they'll fix it soon.
