Bower install fails

[cogentParadigm]

When installing dojo/util via bower, I receive the error "Package dijit-themes not found". See below

$ bower install --save dojo/util
bower util#*                    cached https://github.com/dojo/util.git#1.16.3
bower util#*                  validate 1.16.3 against https://github.com/dojo/util.git#*
bower dojox#1.16.3              cached https://github.com/dojo/dojox.git#1.16.3
bower dojox#1.16.3            validate 1.16.3 against https://github.com/dojo/dojox.git#1.16.3
bower dijit-themes#1.15.0-pre        ENOTFOUND Package dijit-themes not found

I got around this by ignoring dijit-themes in my .bowerrc file

{
   "ignoredDependencies": [
     "dijit-themes"
   ]
}

this issue still persists today. The work around worked for me too.
