Dear Maintainer,
Any execution of `npm` returns:
```
/usr/share/nodejs/npm/lib/cli.js:48
throw err
^
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "original" argument must be of type function. Received an instance of Object
at promisify (node:internal/util:440:3)
at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/share/nodejs/cacache/lib/util/glob.js:4:14)

at require (node:internal/modules/helpers:135:16) {
code: 'ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE'
}
```
This happened suddenly, a few months after the last time I used `npm`.
