type not it output from npm outdated in npm v1.4.21

[bytesnz]

Not sure if it is worth mentioning or not (as it is an old version of npm, but it was installed as available on the current version of Ubuntu Server), but npm outdated (v1.4.21) does not include the type value in its ouput so gulp-check-deps errors with
