I've got the same issue, did anyone find a fix?

[RusimbiPatrick]

This is an issue in npm version 7+. @petersowa and @SirPryderi. You will need to downgrade your npm versions to the stable 6.14.11

Solution: npm install npm@6.14.11 -g

For a workaround I switched to yarn.

Brilliant move @petersowa. Yarn is better than npm in numerous things

[petersowa]

Closing as this appears to be an NPM issue.

Possibly npm/cli#2999

Updated to the newest version of NPM and added npm install --save-dev @babel/core. No more update fails with node-sass.
