[Pkg-javascript-devel] Dependency problem with nodejs-dev_4.8.2~dfsg-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb

[Felix Emmert]

Dear nodejs-dev package maintainer,

your package nodejs-dev_4.8.2~dfsg-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb in jessie-backports depends on "libssl1.0-dev (>= 1.0.2)".
This dependency cannot be resolved, since libssl1.0-dev is still called libssl-dev in the jessie-backports repository. This libssl-dev package does indeed provide version 1.0.2 (1.0.2l-1~bpo8+1 to be precise), but it hasn't been renamed yet (likely because it is not yet in conflict to version 1.1).

As a fix I changed the dependency to "libssl-dev (>= 1.0.2)" in my own repository. This solved the problem and works like intended.

Please update your package dependency, otherwise it cannot be installed on jessie via backports.

Thanks in advance and greetings,
Felix Emmert
