[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1008756: node-npmrc: autopkgtest needs update for new version of nodejs: require(...).tmpDir is not a function

[Paul Gevers]

Source: node-npmrc
Version: 1.1.1-2
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of nodejs in the nodejs transition the autopkgtest 
of node-npmrc fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the 
binary packages of nodejs from unstable. It passes when run with only 
packages from testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
nodejs                 from testing    16.13.2+really14.19.1~dfsg-6
node-npmrc             from testing    1.1.1-2
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of nodejs to testing 
[1]. Of course, nodejs shouldn't just break your autopkgtest (or even 
worse, your package), but your package needs to update to the new 
situation or, if this is really an issue with nodejs, reassigned to nodejs.

If this is a real problem in your package (and not only in your 
autopkgtest), the right binary package(s) from nodejs should really add 
a versioned Breaks on the unfixed version of (one of your) package(s). 
Note: the Breaks is nice even if the issue is only in the autopkgtest as 
it helps the migration software to figure out the right versions to 
combine in the tests.
