The info is about "nodejs command" at the end of /usr/share/doc/nodejs/README.Debian It is true it can be confusing. I'm open to suggestions. Jérémy. PS: Mind that this error pops up everytime. We didn't find a better way to tell "it failed possibly because of nodejs rename, or not". Meaning the error you got might be for a totally different reason: here it seems you miss node-pre-gyp module. _______________________________________________ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
