Bug report

After upgrading from version 5.4.2 to version 6.0.0, when I try to run ng e2e it fails with the following:

Cannot automatically find webdriver-manager to update.
Update webdriver-manager manually and run 'ng e2e --no-webdriver-update' instead.
Error: Cannot automatically find webdriver-manager to update.
Update webdriver-manager manually and run 'ng e2e --no-webdriver-update' instead.
