[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#956027: libjs-popper.js: Upgrading libjs-popper.js buster -> bullseye results in an empty /usr/share/javascript/popper.js

[Elena ``of Valhalla'']

Package: libjs-popper.js
Version: 1.16.0+ds2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When upgrading libjs-popper.js from buster to bullseye, an empty
/usr/share/javascript/popper.js/ directory is left and prevents the
creation of the symlink to ../nodejs/popper.js/dist , thus breaking
anything that expects files in /usr/share/javascript/

To reproduce, it's enough to install libjs-popper.js on a buster system
(e.g. a freshly debootstrapped one) and upgrade it to bullseye.

Removing manually the directory and reinstalling (apt install
--reinstall libjs-popper.js) fixes the problem, as it does removing and
installing again the package.

Thanks in advance
