  directory
  2> npm ERR! EEXIST, rmdir
  '/tmp/npm-test-26804328/root/share/man'

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• A problem was identified in the fs-vacuum module dependency of
  npm that was trapping an ENOTEMPTY error code from rmdir, but
  not an EEXIST one. rmdir is specified to be able to return
  either of these error code if the directory being removed is not
  empty.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fs-vacuum module has been updated to correctly handle the
  EEXIST error code, and a revised npm version is shipping this
  fix.
