Unnecessary error when vagrant/chef tries to delete a proxy

[jabdoa2]

As soon as we set config.proxy.http = '' in Vagrant we will see the following npm error:

0 info it worked if it ends with ok
1 verbose cli [ '/usr/bin/node', '/usr/bin/npm', 'config', 'delete', 'proxy' ]
2 info using npm@1.4.3
3 info using node@v0.10.26
4 verbose node symlink /usr/bin/node
5 error Error: ENOENT, unlink '/root/.npmrc'
6 error If you need help, you may report this *entire* log,
6 error including the npm and node versions, at:

7 error System Linux 3.2.0-23-generic
8 error command "/usr/bin/node" "/usr/bin/npm" "config" "delete" "proxy"
9 error cwd /home/vagrant
10 error node -v v0.10.26
11 error npm -v 1.4.3
12 error path /root/.npmrc
13 error code ENOENT
14 error errno 34
15 verbose exit [ 34, true ]

In my opinion this should not happen. There was no proxy defined before so the delete went fine. Why the error?

This is fixed in npm v1.4.17 (and npmconf v1.1.2).
