npm8 update instructions reference npm7

Port: npm8

Description

I installed npm8.

When running npm update 

npm update -g

causes an error instructing me to run 

npm ERR! update Ignoring attempt to update npm in /opt/local/lib
npm ERR! update which is part of the MacPorts npm7 base
npm ERR! update installation. To update npm please run:
npm ERR! update sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade npm7
npm ERR! Ignoring attempt to update npm in /opt/local/lib which is part of the MacPorts npm7 base installation.

npm7 is not installed and thus macports errors when I run that command.

The error message should read npm8 for the npm8 package.

Correct, this message needs to be fixed in patch-lib-commands-update.js.diff and then the port's revision (or version) must be increased.

npm8: minor text corrections

  • Fixed the update message referring to the wrong npm port
