Title: Warning: Do not upgrade npm
Post by: devil on 2018/02/22, 23:51:22

Should you have the npm package-mananger for Node installed, do NOT upgrade to v5.7.0. A bug in the package will change ownership of vital files on your pc, so that most users have to reinstall their computers.


Sollte jemand das Paket npm (Node Paketmanager) installiert haben, auf keinen Fall auf v5.7.0 updaten, es sei denn, ihr wollt euren Rechner neu aufsetzen, Ein Bug verändert Besitzstände wichtiger Dateien.

Fixed long time ago - the basic problems remains - read and understand the npm man-page - if i understand it right with

Code: [Select]

npm upgrade one will install the latest version - that might be a beta and not ready for production usage - the guys bitten by this bug did exactly that. Fun included.
