[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#847374: npm: Insufficient version dependency on 'node-glob'

[Paul "LeoNerd" Evans]

Package: npm
Version: 1.4.21+ds-2
Severity: normal

Current npm requires a version of node-glob at least >= 4.2.0 because of
the glob.hasMagic() function. However, the debian package metadata
currently claims that node-glob >= 3.1.21 is sufficient.

The upshot of that is that it fails by

npm ERR! TypeError: glob.hasMagic is not a function
npm ERR!     at rimraf (/usr/lib/nodejs/rimraf/rimraf.js:61:36)
npm ERR!     at gentlyRm (/usr/share/npm/lib/utils/gently-rm.js:29:12)
npm ERR!     at rmGunz (/usr/share/npm/lib/utils/tar.js:171:5)
