Hi guys!
sorry to open that up again but:
despite i did: [Npm ERR! code ELOCKVERIFY - #6 by Colin](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/npm-err-code-elockverify/24873/6)
```auto
cd .node-red
rm -rf node_modules
rm -f package-lock.json
npm install
```
I still get:
```auto
odroid@odroid:~/.node-red$ npm audit fix
npm ERR! code ELOCKVERIFY
npm ERR! Errors were found in your package-lock.json, run npm install to fix them.
npm ERR! Invalid: lock file's @abandonware/noble@1.9.2-15 does not satisfy @abandonware/noble@*
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /home/odroid/.npm/_logs/2021-11-11T14_22_45_238Z-debug.log
```

From that other thread:
> The ELOCKVERIFY indication was a result of running `npm audit fix` .
Simple answer is **do not run `npm audit fix` unless you _really_ know what you are doing**.
The audit fix process updates deep dependencies out-of-band and is VERY likely to break things in ways that will be virtually impossible to track down.
I can't say this enough - `npm audit fix` is EXTREMELY dangerous.
I recommend going back and running those 4 lines again. But then don't do an audit fix.
