Need to add instructions to remove package-lock.json when updating?

[aleshh]

I just updated angular cli from 1.4.9 to 1.6.7 globally and in my project per the instructions and got an error:

Error: Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/node/NodeTemplatePlugin'

Fixed by deleting package-lock.json and re-running npm install.

I had to do the same (delete package-lock.json) when updating from 1.6.8 to 1.7.1

Thanks for reporting this issue. This issue was originally reported a long time ago and since then we've had many releases, one of which might have addressed this problem. Please update to the most recent Angular CLI version.

If the problem persists after upgrading, please open a new issue, provide a simple repository reproducing the problem, and describe the difference between the expected and current behavior.
