https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196255 Bug ID: 196255 Summary: [patch] www/npm chokes on many packages Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: adamw@FreeBSD.org npm 2.1.14 chokes on empty paths present in many packages. This means that if any of the offending packages are installed before the upgrade to 2.1.14, npm will completely stop working. It can't update the packages, nor can it uninstall them. If you delete and reinstall them, then npm will stop working again. [adamw@apnoea ~] npm -g outdated npm ERR!

[adamw@apnoea ~] npm -g outdated Package Current Wanted Latest Location mkdirp 0.3.5 0.3.5 0.5.0 That patch will be in the next release, but please consider applying it before then, as I suspect I'm not the only person bitten by this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
