nodist installed npm v5.x not saving global dependencies

[nwayve]

With the release of npm v 5.x there are some breaking changes that might be contributing to this, not sure. http://blog.npmjs.org/post/161081169345/v500

I've done nodist npm + 5.x to get up to (as of this issue) npm version 5.0.3 If I do npm i -g gulp (assume gulp not installed globally) a rollbackFailedOptional: verb npm-session line is spit up and then goes back to prompt gulp not installed globally

I can nodist npm 4.x to get the latest v4, do the same steps and it does get installed globally.

Hey @nwayve! Thank you for reporting this. I will investigate ASAP.

Works as expected in v.10.3
