[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#835581: node-es6-promise: FTBFS in testing (compile-modules shows usage help)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:node-es6-promise
Version: 3.2.2+ds-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 debian/rules build-indep
dh build-indep
   dh_testdir -i
   dh_update_autotools_config -i
   dh_auto_configure -i

make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/node-es6-promise-3.2.2+ds'

compile-modules [--help] [--version] <command> [<args>]

Commands

debian/rules:10: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_build' failed

make: *** [build-indep] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build-indep gave error exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, I have no idea why it fails, but the failure is reproducible easily.

Once you fix this, I would recommend that you try uploading this in
source-only form, then we will get pretty official build logs in
buildd.debian.org.

Thanks.
