So this is the problem I found the answer to, instead of asking a question, so hopefully this is resolved. I have a meteor application that has been upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3 and deployed to a docker container. I was getting this error:

I decided that changing the line in the Docker file would be:
RUN curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh; echo "version 1.3"
Surprisingly, I fixed this problem and now I had the current version of the meteorite, but I was still getting the error. At the moment, I just need my deployment to work, because we are in the middle of the sprint, and here we come to one of my most hacky decisions:
I added a symlink inside the dir package called packages.json, which pointed to package.json in the main directory of my project.
If someone wants to comment on what is the root cause of the problem, and the actual solution, which would be awesome, but hopefully this helps someone who needs a workaround.
