When running "npm update" in my ./.node-red directory I get the error "Cannot convert undefined or null to object". The Idealtree seems to run to completion. The error log looks like this:

This happened after upgrading Node-RED and Node.js to the latest version. I had run "npm update" before that without any issue. When I update nodes through the graphical interface, that works fine without any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get rid of this error?
