[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#840543: node-ebnf-parser: FTBFS (Attempt to unlock test@*, which hasn't been locked)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:node-ebnf-parser
Version: 0.1.10+dfsg-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:

The relevant part of the build log is included above.

When I try again, the error may be different. These are the errors I got:

npm ERR! Error: Attempt to unlock git://github.com/zaach/jison.git, which hasn't been locked
npm ERR! Error: Attempt to unlock lex-parser at 0.1.0, which hasn't been locked
npm ERR! Error: Attempt to unlock test@*, which hasn't been locked

If I don't use sbuild but try to build it by hand, the error is also different:

npm install
npm WARN `git config --get remote.origin.url` returned wrong result (git://github.com/zaach/jison.git) undefined
npm WARN `git config --get remote.origin.url` returned wrong result (git://github.com/zaach/jison.git) undefined
npm ERR! git clone git://github.com/zaach/jison.git undefined
npm ERR! git clone git://github.com/zaach/jison.git undefined
npm ERR! not found: git
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed using git.
npm ERR! This is most likely not a problem with npm itself.
npm ERR! Please check if you have git installed and in your PATH.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use reassign and affects,
so that this is still visible in the page for this package.

Thanks.
