Can't install/update heroku toolbelt - heroku-pipelines [closed]

Question

I'm having problems updating with heroku toolbelt (on Ubuntu x64).

Whatever heroku command I try to run, heroku toolbelt will try to update itself and the update always fails with this output:

$ heroku
heroku-cli: Installing Toolbelt v4... done

 !    error getting commands pid 8898 exit 1

I've removed my ~/.heroku, I've apt-get remove --purge heroku*, and still it just fails.

I'm not that familiar with node.js to understand what kind of problem this is or if it even is a node.js problem at all.. Does anyone have a clue? Thanks!
