npm install docpad-plugin-minicms not installing

[s2zaman]

My previous issue #646 was resolved by @balupton .
But this came up.
The error results from the command npm install docpad-plugin-minicms

Whenever you use docpad install you don't need to add docpad-plugin- to the plugin name. So in this case docpad install minicms is enough. :)

[balupton]

That's true, although I'm not sure that is what caused this error though. We'll need to get the minicms author to weigh in on this as he would know best. @jeremyfa what are your thoughts?

[jeremyfa]

Seems that a the slug module is broken. Need to check what is going on. Give me some time to take a look!

[s2zaman]

@jeremyfa Have you checked the issue...

[jeremyfa]

I tested the installation on the last version of docpad (6.53.0) with last version of node (0.10.18) and everything installs correctly.

My suggestions:

• Try again the installation. Maybe the dependency was broken for a while and is now fixed by its author
• Update docpad and node version and try again

Are you running on Mac, Linux?

[s2zaman]

I'm using Windows 8 Pro, 32-bit OS on x64-based architecture.
Thanks for resolving the problem !!

[balupton]

So it's working now for you @s2zaman?

[s2zaman]

I think there is problem either with the sigmund or lru-cache or both.
I tried the installation, both with npm and docpad but the error comes up on reaching the mentioned packages.

[balupton]

@isaacs any ideas? or any ideas on who we should ask?

[isaacs]

Works fine for me.

[s2zaman]

Thanks to you all.
The problem is solved !

The problem was not with the sigmund,lru-cache.
The unicode package has some issue in it.

I worked around on it on my system as:

Hint: code in the [ ] indicates path.

1. I captured the "docpad-plugin-minicms" folder manually, while the npm install was being carried out in the [../examples/blog]. then copied it to the [../examples/blog/node_modules/].
2. downloaded "UnicodeData.txt" file manually
3. downloaded the "node-unicodetable" manually, put in the [../examples/blog/node_modules/docpad-plugin-minicms']
4. rename the "node-unicodetable" folder to "unicode"
5. Finally docpad server in [../examples/blog/]

unicodedatafile = {
host: "unicode.org",

By this code :

unicodedatafile = {
host: "http://unicode.org",
