When using the following configuration on Ubuntu 14.04 in circle.yml file :

> machine:  
> node:  
> version: 5.7

The following guild error is returned during **Machine** build phase:

> Version ‘5.7’ not found - try `nvm ls-remote` to browse available versions.  
> nvm install 5.7 && nvm alias default 5.7 returned exit code 3  
> Action failed: set node.js version to 5.7

SSH’ing into the build machine and running `nvm ls-remote` results in `N/A` output which **is not expected**.  
Instead complete output of all available NVM NodeJS versions should be presented, similar to this one:  
`nvm ls-remote v0.1.14 v0.1.15 v0.1.16 v0.1.17 v0.1.18 v0.1.19 v0.1.20 v0.1.21 v0.1.22 v0.1.23 v0.1.24 v0.1.25 v0.1.26 v0.1.27 v0.1.28 v0.1.29 v0.1.30 ....`

Please note that up until yesterday this configuration and builds worked fine.

Is there any update on this issue? We used this workaround which worked for us for the past 2 weeks, but it is not working anymore:  
dependencies:  
— override:  
---- - nvm use 5.7  
What happens is that CircleCI is still using nodejs v4.2.6.

Unfortunately we cannot build any jobs any longer which use node v5.7.
