bbb-webhooks - inactive `unsafe-perm` is not a valid npm option

[jorgelondo]

Hello, I updated from version 2.6.11 to 2.7, when doing "sudo bbb-conf --status" the bbb-webhooks process did not start, what it shows is: npm ERR! unsafe-perm is not a valid npm option and the log file shows the following:
