Updating sometimes fails

[snowdd1]

This hasn't a direct connection to homebridge-knx, but I observed that npm update <package> seems to be somewhat reluctant to, well update packages...

pi@knxd2-raspberry:~ $ npm update homebridge-knx@0.3.7-a
pi@knxd2-raspberry:~ $ npm list
/home/pi

So if it does not update your packages, do an install instead of update.

Depending on the type of your installation (global or local)

sudo npm install -g homebridge-knx (Globally installed with root rights)
npm install homebridge-knx (locally installed with current user)
