[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#835581: Possible fix for the FTBFS in node-es6-promise

[Julien Puydt]

Hi,

I don't have a stretch box handy, but /usr/bin/compile-modules comes 
from the node-es6-module-transpiler package. Testing has 
node-es6-module-transpiler version 0.10.0.1, which depends on 
node-ast-util (in testing 0.6.0-1), which depends on node-ast-types (in 
testing 0.9.0-1).

Things get interesting there : node-ast-types 0.9.0-1 has no RC bug for 
itself, but triggers errors in other packages! See #835704, about a 
FTBFS in node-ast-util, for example.

You don't have the typical message of this problem (a missing ./fork 
module), but my guess is that whenever an exception is triggered in 
compile-modules, that is treated by printing the help, thus hiding the 
real issue.

I prepared node-ast-types 0.9.0-2 for unstable today -- can you check it 
makes your FTBFS for node-es6-promise vanish?

Thanks,
