Package: npm Version: 1.4.21+ds-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Got hit again by https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/533
I'm sharing it here so other users can find a workaround. `npm install npm -g` will correctly install latest version of npm in /usr/local (provided current user is member of staff group). Unfortunately, /usr/local/bin/npm will look for npmrc in the following places: /usr/etc/npmrc, /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/npmrc... but where we'd like it to look for: /etc/npmrc /usr/local/etc/npmrc /usr/share/npm/npmrc (this is the one from the debian package) It is a problem because *npm loses its /usr/local prefix*, so future `npm install -g xxx` will try to install into /usr/lib. Workaround: after `npm install npm -g`, copy or symlink /usr/share/npm/npmrc to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/npmrc.
