[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#763040: npm: "npm help <cmd>" is broken

[Roland Hieber]

Package: npm
Version: 1.4.21+ds-2
Followup-For: Bug #763040

Huh, funny. I have here two systems, both systems are running
npm-1.4.21+ds-2.

The first system is running Debian GNU/Linux 9.1 (stretch), there the
bug does not happen, because there are the right symlinks in
/usr/share/man/man1.

On this system where I'm writing this mail, running Debian GNU/Linux
testing (buster), the bug _does_ happen, because the symlinks are
missing, even after a aptitude reinstall npm.
