npm install ghost@0.7.2 fails on Ubuntu 14.04

I use Ghost on a server running Ubuntu 14.04, node@v0.10.25, npm@3.5.0.

$ npm install ghost@latest fails, while $ npm install ghost@0.7.1 works as expected (but with many warnings. I’ve tried installing ghost@latest with node v4.2.2 using NVM but this did not work either.

Here’s the part of npm-debug.log that says what is failing:

53996 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
53996 error     npm install semver && node -e "require('./core/server/utils/startup-check.js').nodeVersion()"

If you want the rest of npm-debug.log, please let me know. I’d be happy to gist it for you.

@kimroen that’s a slight different npm bug to the one that I believe caused the original report here, but we’re tracking that here #6691

For others ending up here, here’s the issue that is tracking the root cause of this issue, as far as I can tell: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10379
