[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#784439: uglifyjs version failing

[Pau Garcia i Quiles]

Package: node-uglify
Version: 2.4.15-1

Trying to find out the version of uglifyjs on your system fails:

$ uglifyjs --version

module.js:340
   throw err;
         ^
Error: Cannot find module '../package.json'
   at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
   at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
   at Module.require (module.js:364:17)
   at require (module.js:380:17)
   at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/bin/uglifyjs:118:16)
   at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)
   at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10)
   at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
   at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
   at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)

The package.json file does exist:

$ dpkg -L node-uglify
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/nodejs
/usr/lib/nodejs/uglify-js
/usr/lib/nodejs/uglify-js/transform.js
/usr/lib/nodejs/uglify-js/utils.js

/usr/share/doc/node-uglify/copyright
/usr/share/doc/node-uglify/README.md.gz
/usr/share/doc/node-uglify/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/uglifyjs

Problem is /usr/bin/uglifyjs looks for it in the wrong place:

$ grep package.json /usr/bin/uglifyjs
   var json = require("../package.json");
