Issue with unpublishing from NPME and beta tags

[PMByrne]

To reproduce:

• Module currently sits at some version (1.0.9)
• Publish a new version with a beta tag (new version 1.1.0-0)
• Bump the version and publish without a beta tag (new version 1.1.0)
• Realize you cant use the 1.1.0 version yet so you unpublish 1.1.0.
• Latest tag will now be 1.1.0-0 (the beta tag that should never be latest).
• Realize the issue and try to run npm dist-tag and set 1.0.9 back to latest.
• Get the following error:

user@computer:~/projects/path/to/module$ npm dist-tag add @scope/module@2.2.0 latest
npm WARN tag This command is deprecated. Use `npm dist-tag` instead.

Tried the npm dist-tag rm modulename latest then readd and got the same error.

@mudrummer012 just published a new release of npm Enterprise which fixes the npm dist-tag add behavior 👍
