Package: nodejs Version: 12.8.0~dfsg-2 Severity: normal The current documentation, ‘debian/nodejs.README.Debian’, makes an absolute recommendation that does not match the package behaviour.
The global search path for modules is /usr/lib/nodejs Future packages of node modules will use that directory, so it should be used wisely. The current behaviour of NodeJS packaged in Debian is (according to changelog entries) to search in the following locations, in order of preference: * "/usr/lib/<$DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH>/nodejs" for c++ addons * "/usr/share/nodejs" for pure javascript modules * "/usr/lib/nodejs" for smooth migration of current modules Either the documentation in the change log is wrong, or the binary package README.Debian is wrong. In either case, please correct the documentation to accurately reflect the current NodeJS behavour in Debian. -- \ “Every valuable human being must be a radical and a rebel, for | `\ what he must aim at is to make things better than they are.” | _o__) —Niels Bohr | Ben Finney <bign...@debian.org>
