crashes on install #23

To make the prettier npmd search results I had to delete my ~/.npmd and re-sync the new registry contents but now I'm getting this error whenever I try to install packages:

$ npmd install traverse
[ 'traverse' ]

+1 I'm seeing the same thing after try to use npmd for the first time :(

OK, interestingly I think this is only a problem before the repository has reached 100% sync status. Just tried again once the repo had fully synced and it worked without issue.

Hmm, so what is happening here is npmd is trying to resolve a module that it doesn't have yet.

I think the solution here would be to update level-couch-sync so that it can update out of order. So, if you try to install a module that you don't have yet, pull it immediately from the registry. those installs will be slow... and it won't keep automatically up to date, but it will work without waiting for the entire registry to sync.
