Privately Scoped Template Package (@scope/template) for Template returns 404 in version 5.0.0

Created by: AleskiWeb

Describe the bug

Using the following command:

npx create-react-app@5.0.0 test-app --template @private-scope/cra-template

The NPM lookup seems to ignore the fact that it is a private repository and returns:

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@private-scope%2fcra-template - Not found

Edit: However the following command does work

yarn create react-app test-app--template @private-scope/cra-template

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

Yes/NA

Which terms did you search for in User Guide?

The Custom Templates page mentions:

Scoped templates are also supported, under the name @[scope-name]/cra-template or @[scope-name]/cra-template-[template-name], which can be installed via @[scope] and @[scope]/[template-name] respectively.

And this worked correctly for me under version 4.0.3
