This bug also occurs in Kolab 16. Why does Kolab package Node JS and don't use the official Node JS packages?

As a workaround I used nvm to install an appropriate version for npm:

export NODE_VERSION=0.12.8 && \
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash && \
    export NVM_DIR="/root/.nvm" && \
    source $NVM_DIR/nvm.sh && \
    nvm install v$NODE_VERSION && \
    ln -s /root/.nvm/versions/node/v0.12.8/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm
