Attempting to get https://github.com/PolymerElements/polymer-starter-kit working, I ran npm install.
As far as I know, it's a bad idea asking for root for installing random packages comming from unsigned unverified repositories such as npm.
Is this the expected behaviour?

We're closing this support issue as it has gone three days without activity. The npm CLI team itself does not provide support via this issue tracker, but we are happy when users help each other here. In our experience once a support issue goes dormant it's unlikely to get further activity. If you're still having problems, you may be better served by joining package.community and asking your question there.
For more information about our new issue aging policies and why we've instituted them please see our blog post.
I'm opening this issue because:
What's going wrong?
Wrongly issued as (now closed) acorn issue. acornjs/acorn#437
Attempting to get https://github.com/PolymerElements/polymer-starter-kit working, I ran npm install.
As far as I know, it's a bad idea asking for root for installing random packages comming from unsigned unverified repositories such as npm.
Is this the expected behaviour?
The permissions are fine.
The filesystem however doesn't support symbolic links and root won't change that.
How can the CLI team reproduce the problem?
Probably by attempting to install any npm package on any POSIX filesystem that doesn't allow symlinks.
