[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#882079: node-d: circular dependency hell

[Bill Allombert]

Package: node-d
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: important

Hello Debian Javascript Maintainers,

There is a circular dependency between node-d, node-es5-ext,
node-es6-iterator and node-es6-symbol:

node-d 	          :Depends: node-es5-ext (>= 0.10.9)
node-es5-ext      :Depends: node-es6-iterator (>= 2), node-es6-symbol (>= 3.1)
node-es6-iterator :Depends: node-es6-symbol (>= 3.1), node-d (>= 1), node-es5-ext (>= 0.10.14)
node-es6-symbol	  :Depends: node-d (>= 1), node-es5-ext (>= 0.10.14)

Complex circular dependencies are known to cause problems during upgrade, so we
should try to avoid them.
