Unable to update npm using `npm i -g npm`

Thanks for all the hard work on this plugin, it's been great for me!

I have an issue that I believe is partially related to WSL1 with Ubuntu 18.04. I'm unable to update npm using the built-in upgrade method of npm i -g npm.

I get the following stack trace:

I also have Ubuntu 20 running on WSL2 and npm updates fine using asdf in that environment, both running the same nodejs version.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be happening? Obviously, there is an issue with renaming the files. I did try restarting my computer and running only the WSL1 terminal.
