Package: npm
Version: 5.8.0+ds-3
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

while trying to install a bunch of Node packages demanded by a valid
package.json, npm gives me error message "Cannot find module
'readable-stream'". Here's the npm logfile:

Installing node-readable-stream fixes this for me, so here's a patch.

Cheers,
