node-gyp rebuild fails

[born2webdesign]

atom 1.4.1 (on Debian jessie), tying to install git-utils.

Installing “git-utils@4.1.2” failed.
Output below (unfortunately, the log mentioned at the very bottom does not exist):

npm WARN deprecated wrench@1.5.9: wrench.js is deprecated! You should check out fs-extra (https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra) for any operations you were using wrench for. Thanks for all the usage over the years.
