I do not recommend using sudo for your npm installations (any sudo npm installation), it seems you need to update your repository, I'm not sure if you are using a distro, but if debian or ubuntu you should be doing something like:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
