[Pirate Praveen]

Package: glewlwyd
Version: 2.7.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: ftbfs
Tags: ftbfs

Usertags: webpack5

With webpack 5 your package ftbfs with error.

ERROR in ./src/admin.js 13:0-43
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'i18next-http-backend' in 
'/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/webapp-src/src'

ERROR in ./src/callback.js 26:0-43
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'i18next-http-backend' in 
'/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/webapp-src/src'

ERROR in ./src/login.js 14:0-43
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'i18next-http-backend' in 
'/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/webapp-src/src'

ERROR in ./src/profile.js 14:0-43
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'i18next-http-backend' in 
'/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/webapp-src/src'

4 errors have detailed information that is not shown.
Use 'stats.errorDetails: true' resp. '--stats-error-details' to show it.

A better way to tell webpack to look for node modules installed in 
/usr/share/nodejs is adding the following to webpack.config.js

  resolve: {
    modules: ['/usr/share/nodejs', '/usr/lib/nodejs'],
  },
  resolveLoader: {
    modules: ['/usr/share/nodejs','/usr/lib/nodejs'],
  },

as an example.
