I am new to nodejs and i had just installed bower module globally. Ever since then, npm list command gives the following output which I searched for on the web but couldn't find any help :

**npm ERR! invalid: [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/chalk  
npm ERR! invalid: [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/chalk/node_modules/has-ansi/node_modules/ansi-regex  
npm ERR! invalid: [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/update-notifier/node_modules/configstore  
npm ERR! invalid: [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/update-notifier/node_modules/latest-version/node_modules/package-json/node_modules/got/node_modules/object-assign  
npm ERR! invalid: [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/update-notifier/node_modules/latest-version/node_modules/package-json/node_modules/registry-url  
npm ERR! invalid: [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/update-notifier/node_modules/string-length/node_modules/strip-ansi  
npm ERR! not ok code 0**

The rest of the output is normal and lists the installed modules. Can anyone explain what's going on?
