setup_8 not works for CentOS6

[lwr]

I am following the instruction at https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora

and then

curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -

and then

sudo yum -y install nodejs

and then only 6.11.2 is available

Anyway I can success install the package with rpm

curl -O https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_8.x/el/6/x86_64/nodejs-8.4.0-1nodesource.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivhU nodejs-8.4.0-1nodesource.el6.x86_64.rpm

Same issue on RHEL 7

I had this issue when updating node from version node 6.x to 8.x

I had to remove the old yum.repos.d file for node - and even then it didn't work - required a yum clean all

After that I was able to upgrade to 8.x

For first time installation - the install instructions seem to work for me - however when updating node on a server - there is a problem.
