I suspect all can be fixed by updating npm?

The rc package server has been shut down now that Elm 0.19 has been release. The 0.19 version of elm-upgrde hasn't been published yet, but I'm hoping to have it published in a few hours.

This should be fixed in version 0.19.0. npm install -g elm-upgrade (no longer use @rc) to get the latest version.
