Npm should throw an error when unable to move a package from node_modules/.staging to node_modules.

I'm opening this issue because:

• npm is doing something I don't understand.

What's going wrong?

I think npm should throw an error when unable to move a folder.

When I am installing gulp package, I got an error:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! syscall rename
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename 'C:\Files\Work\SourceCode\LockTest10\node_modules\atob' -> 'C:\Files\Work\SourceCode\LockTest10\node_modules\.atob.DELETE'

the issue is in https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/latest/lib/install/action/finalize.js#L67 not throwing error when it is unable to move:
c:\Files\Work\SourceCode\LockTest9\node_modules\.staging\atob-f7ed28db\
to
c:\Files\Work\SourceCode\LockTest9\node_modules\atob\

How can the CLI team reproduce the problem?

I am not sure.
