Package: npm Version: 1.4.21+ds-2 Severity: normal Current npm requires a version of node-glob at least >= 4.2.0 because of the glob.hasMagic() function. However, the debian package metadata currently claims that node-glob >= 3.1.21 is sufficient.
The upshot of that is that it fails by npm ERR! TypeError: glob.hasMagic is not a function npm ERR! at rimraf (/usr/lib/nodejs/rimraf/rimraf.js:61:36) npm ERR! at gentlyRm (/usr/share/npm/lib/utils/gently-rm.js:29:12) npm ERR! at rmGunz (/usr/share/npm/lib/utils/tar.js:171:5) ... -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages npm depends on: ii node-abbrev 1.0.9-1 ii node-ansi 0.3.0-2 ii node-ansi-color-table 1.0.0-1 ii node-archy 0.0.2-1 ii node-block-stream 0.0.9-1 ii node-fstream 1.0.10-1 ii node-fstream-ignore 0.0.6-2 ii node-github-url-from-git 1.4.0-1 ii node-glob 7.1.1-1 ii node-graceful-fs 4.1.11-1 ii node-gyp 3.4.0-1 ii node-inherits 2.0.3-1 ii node-ini 1.1.0-1 ii node-lockfile 0.4.1-1 ii node-lru-cache 2.3.1-1 ii node-minimatch 3.0.3-1 ii node-mkdirp 0.5.0-1 ii node-nopt 3.0.6-3 ii node-npmlog 0.0.4-1 ii node-once 1.4.0-2 ii node-osenv 0.1.0-1 ii node-read 1.0.5-1 ii node-read-package-json 1.2.4-1 ii node-request 2.26.1-1 ii node-retry 0.6.0-1 ii node-rimraf 2.5.4-2 ii node-semver 5.3.0-1 ii node-sha 1.2.3-1 ii node-slide 1.1.4-1 ii node-tar 2.2.1-1 ii node-underscore 1.8.3~dfsg-1 ii node-which 1.0.5-2 ii nodejs 4.6.1~dfsg-1 npm recommends no packages. npm suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leon...@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/ -- Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
