While the underlying cause (missing file/directory) is the same, Yarn often provides more informative error messages and can sometimes resolve dependency issues more effectively than npm. Yarn's caching mechanism and deterministic dependency resolution can help prevent 'ENOENT' errors. However, the general troubleshooting steps (clearing cache, reinstalling dependencies) apply to both package managers.
