package-lock.json seems broken

[rkaw92]

1. git clone https://github.com/PeculiarVentures/xmldsigjs.git
2. cd xmldsigjs
3. npm install

We get the below error while trying to npm install:

Removing package-lock.json resolves the issue. Has package-lock.json been mangled, or generated by a buggy version of npm? Perhaps dependencies have disappeared from npm, too?
