[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#898857: /usr/lib/nodejs/js-yaml/bin/js-yaml.js: /usr/bin/js-yaml should use /usr/bin/node and not node from env

[Dominique Dumont]

Package: node-js-yaml
Version: 3.11.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/lib/nodejs/js-yaml/bin/js-yaml.js

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I have both nodejs installed by Debian package and an older node installed
with a tarball (don't ask). The older node is preprended to PATH:

$ type node
node is /home/domi/bin/node

js-yaml is installed with Debian package. 

Heres the result:

$ js-yaml
module.js:549
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'argparse'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:547:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:474:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:596:17)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

When using Debian node, I have:
$ /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/js-yaml

The problem is:

$ head -1 /usr/bin/js-yaml
#!/usr/bin/env node


js-yaml should be patched to begin with '#!/usr/bin/node` to always
use node installed by Debian.

All the best
