Can someone please explain what that means and what must be done to correct that?

Thanks in advance!

Most odd. Maybe a cache corruption ? Maybe run npm cache clean —force  
Then retry

Looks like the node.js and npm are not compatible?

Last time i updated it i use the command  
bash \<(curl -sL [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered))  
Are there other, better methodes to update?

Several options 🙂  
You can install newer npm.  
sudo npm i -g npm@6  
Then retry  
Or re run the full install script latest version. And follow instructions to update node to 12 or 14. But if you have lots of extra nodes that talk to i2c or gpio I may advise against that for niw

Oh yes, i use 6 i2c devices, so it might be better to wait a month or two and try it then again.

Thanks for the replies!

edit: typo

I would update npm as above then. Retry. Just don’t update nodejs
