This looks like a problem with how npm drops permissions when doing a global install. I haven't been able to reproduce this, but I reworked how the install lifecycle script gets run to hopefully recover from this kind of failure better. If you've continued having the issue, could you please try again and see if it still fails? You may want to run it with V
set in the environment. For example:
$ V=1 sudo npm install -g dtrace-provider
$ npm --version 5.5.1
$ sudo npm install -g dtrace-provider
fs.js:784 return binding.rename(pathModule.toNamespacedPath(oldPath), ^
