error with binarykvparser when redeeming key

[rektbot]

This issue arose only after updating steam-user with NPM; and i suspect it updated binarykvparser as a dependency.

 

Key is successfully redeemed however throws this error BEFORE successful confirmation.

 

 

/home//accounts/accounts/node_modules/binarykvparser/index.js:74
                                throw new Error("Unknown KV type " + type + " encountered at offset " + offset[0]);
                                ^

Error: Unknown KV type 10 encountered at offset 106

This issue arising after updating is merely a coincidence. It appears that in today's Steam maintenance, Valve added a new binary KV node type. Please run npm update and let me know if that doesn't fix it.

Thanks - I'll try  again and advise.

Just as a heads up to anyone else running into this issue: I had to manually do npm install binarykvparser as npm update didn't do anything. Works fine again, thanks.
