@SurferJeffAtGoogle Couple things:

  • npm@1.3 support ended years ago
  • The Node.js binary on your system is called nodejs instead of the expected node (you can see from the log how spawn-sync's postinstall script is trying to call node. This rename was a decision made by Debian maintainers. You should read this file that's in your system:
npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"
npm WARN For further explanations, please read
/usr/share/doc/nodejs/README.Debian

Scripts calling Node.js as a shell command must be changed to instead
use the "nodejs" command.

I read this file. But I haven't written any scripts that call nodejs. And I never type it at a command line, so I don't see how it's related.

I downloaded the latest from https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.2.1/node-v4.2.1-linux-x64.tar.gz. And it still fails:
rennie@rennie:~/Downloads/node-v4.2.1-linux-x64/bin$ sudo ./npm install -g yo

@SurferJeffAtGoogle A dependency of yo expects the binary to be called node: https://github.com/ForbesLindesay/spawn-sync/blob/6901f4dee9b91fd9e16ccca2fd3026d25a633d66/package.json#L15

Closing since I do not believe this to be an issue with npm. Can reopen if this is demonstrated to not be the case.
