Command failed: npm uninstall -g --silent xoa-updater

Has anyone else seen this error? I was working in the XOA VM/web interface and, well, got these messages:

I should note that I'm running xo-server 5.50.1 and xo-web 5.50.3 and this setup has been working fine. It was an upgrade/switch from XenServer 7.6.

Is it odd that this is trying to run "npm" when the underlying OS for Xen Orchestra seems to be Debian? I thought npm was on Red Hat/CentOS distros. (I could easily be off on an irrelevant tangent here.)

When I ssh to the Xen Orchestra VM:

Build number: 19.06.24

Based on Debian GNU/Linux 9 (Stable) 64bits in PVHVM mode

Are you behind a proxy? npm is the NodeJS package manager, not related to any OS.

Please open a support ticket so we can assist you directly

Will do. I've got an installation of it in two locations and neither are behind a proxy.

In a moment of early-onset senility/dementia I confused npm with dnf - somehow! So there's obviously a chance I'm doing something incorrectly.
