Some progress on this issue. I updated my outdated nodejs... https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager.

now investigating: npm ERR! fetch failed https://registry.npmjs.org/throttleit/-/throttleit-0.0.2.tgz npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing fsevents@0.2.1 npm ERR! fetch failed https://registry.npmjs.org/policyfile/-/policyfile-0.0.4.tgz npm ERR! fetch failed https://registry.npmjs.org/cookie-signature/-/cookie-signature-1.0.1.tgz npm ERR! fetch failed https://registry.npmjs.org/cookie/-/cookie-0.1.0.tgz

https://registry.npmjs.org/throttleit/-/throttleit-0.0.2.t is returning {"error":"not_found","reason":"Document is missing attachment"} off to the npmjs ppl for some help here.

it appears the previous error is benign and inconsistently occuring. So the next error:

I'm thinking this some perms thing, but the user is in the plugdev group... so... Still looking for answers.

Huh. I'm not even sure what dependency this is trying to pull in that is failing. Can you try commenting out each of the "npm" lines until it actually runs? I suspect the issue may be webworker-threads, which is probably not even needed anymore (it was used to run some unit tests from Node).

I confirm it, is webworker-threads (sorry for posting on old issues, but i have replicated it).
