Description:

Recently went to upgrade my system and noticed that there seems to be a random file system conflict on the install of npm 3.3.9

npm: /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/request/node_modules/qs/README.md exists in filesystem

Unclear whether its okay to just force this or whether this is a packaging error
This task depends upon

Yup, this did the job. Looking back at it, this probably occurred due to updating npm with itself rather than the package manager.
