Just in case someone encountered this previously. We upgraded our meteor to 1.6.1 and so far it works fine on development server, but when we tried to push it to live using the DEPLOY_HOSTNAME command we got a strange error below.
Errors prevented deploying:

I’m not sure the cause of the error because as I’ve said it works fine on our development server (on C9).

This can have so many sources of error as you can read here:
In my case the reason was an npm package, that included several packages that somehow clashed with the minifier packages of Meteor. After I removed the package my build came back to normal.
Check your npm packages if there are any with dependencies to uglify-js or babel-minify or similar packages and try to remove them or change versions.
Good news is that there is already some solution in staging.
