Anyone else having problems with 1.2.1?

Okay, so after a tip I got here: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower/issues/24 I edited bower.json and changed

"ionic": "driftyco/ionic-bower#1.2.1"

to

"ionic": "driftyco/ionic-bower#1.2.1-nightly-1867"`

I could not run ionic lib update as it still throws the same error, but I could install ngCordova:

bower install ngCordova

and subsequently install the barcode scanner plugin.
