Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
This issue exists in the latest npm version
- I am using the latest npm
Current Behavior
Why I don't use the latest version of npm:I even can't update npm by using "sudo npm i -g npm".
The environment information:
node version: v12.22.9
npm version: v8.5.1
WSL version:
Build: 22598
Release: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Kernel: Linux 5.10.102.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2
This problem also exists in these websites:
https://serveanswer.com/questions/npm-install-error-npm-err-cannot-read-property-insert-of-undefined
They use the same version of node and npm as I , but I can't know if they are also using WSL too.
Expected Behavior
Install normally.
Steps To Reproduce
sudo npm i -g npm
Actually , whatever package I install , it fails with the same ERROR Code.
