I installed npm via brew and when I run ujust update I get the following errors:

── 11:26:07 - Node Package Manager ─────────────────────────────────────────────

Any ideas?

I have this problem too.
What I did was:
rm /var/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/share/man/man7/package-spec.7
and then a:
npm install --force

But this problem keeps coming back. I don’t have a definitive solution yet.

I did that and then it pointed to another file. Over and over again.

I’d a quick look at what I did back then. It was:

npm update ‘–location=global’ --force
