Node v21: rimraf module not found

when I run npx npm-check-updates on Node v21 I got Error: Cannot find module 'node_modules/npm-check-updates/node_modules/rimraf/dist/commonjs/index.js'

That looks like some kind of npm install error. I'm able to do npx npm-check-updates on Node v21 without an error:

raine[template]% node -v
v21.6.1
raine[template]% npx npm-check-updates
Need to install the following packages:
npm-check-updates@16.14.14
Ok to proceed? (y)
npm WARN deprecated @npmcli/move-file@2.0.1: This functionality has been moved to @npmcli/fs

 ncu-test-tag   1.0.0  →   1.1.0
 ncu-test-v2   ^1.0.0  →  ^2.0.0

Run npx npm-check-updates -u to upgrade package.json

I would try clearing the npx cache and see if that helps.

related, but still not working

It's not related to #1372, as that change has not been published.

waiting for the new version to see if it solves the issue

Does the same problem also occur when you do npm install -g npm-check-updates and run ncu?
