[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#888989: Error: Cannot find module 'node-uuid'

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: npm2deb
Version: 0.2.7-6
Severity: normal

https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Npm2Deb suggests that we ought 
to be able to do "npm2deb search monocle".

here's what happens:

0 dkg at sid:~$ npm2deb search monocle
npm reports errors about monocle module:
module.js:538
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'node-uuid'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:536:15)

1 dkg at sid:~$ 

fwiw, i have node-uuid installed:

0 dkg at sid:~$ COLUMNS=85 dpkg -l | grep node-uuid
ii  libjs-node-uuid 1.4.7-1      all          simple and fast RFC4122 UUID genera
ii  node-node-uuid  1.4.7-1      all          simple and fast RFC4122 UUID genera
0 dkg at sid:~$ 

I don't know enough about node or javascript to know how to resolve this 
problem myself so it doesn't look like i can fix it easily.
