generators/app/templates/.gitignore doesn't exist

[phiros]

Hi,
just tried this out. I installed the generator on ubuntu 15.04 with:
npm install -g generator-seneca-micro
then I ran:
yo seneca-micro
which resulted in the following:

yo seneca-micro
? What is the name of your micro-service server? striderCoreBackend
? What is the description your service (in package.json)? 
? Do you want to run the service in Docker? Yes
? What ports do you want to expose to outside world (comma separated)? 10101
? Do you want to add a (3rd party) Seneca plugin? No
? Do you want to add a service handler? No

events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^
AssertionError: Trying to copy from a source that does not exist: /usr/lib/node_modules/generator-seneca-micro/generators/app/templates/.gitignore
[...]

I checked whether the file exists or not:

$ ls -al /usr/lib/node_modules/generator-seneca-micro/generators/app/templates/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody philipp 4096 Jul 19 20:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody philipp 4096 Jul 19 20:06 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody philipp 1597 Mar  7 13:48 index.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody philipp  259 Mar  7 13:28 package.json

and indeed it seems like this file is missing.

Any idea what could be wrong here?

BTW my npm version is:

$ npm --version
2.13.1

Just for the record:
I fixed this on my machine by going to /usr/lib/node_modules and downloading the source
directly from github (after downloading I executed npm i in /usr/lib/node_modules/generator-seneca-micro)

I have the same problem. Phiros solution worked for me though.
