---------------------+--------------------
 npm6 6.10.2_0 fails to build in a non-root macports setup. Previous
 versions of npm6 were installed successfully in the same setup.

 Note: the reason I think this bug may be related to macports being setup
 as non-root is the following snippet from the log:
  {{{info:destroot npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, open...}}}
 although I don't know for sure if the port also fails to build in a
 standard macports setup
