[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#960939: npm2deb: when trying to create a package from a specific version, it considers version as integer

[Pirate Praveen]

Package: npm2deb
Version: 0.3.0-4
Severity: important

$ npm2deb create less-loader at 4.0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/npm2deb", line 7, in <module>

    return _Npm2Deb(args=vars(args))

    self.name = self.json['name']
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

If we give version as 4.1.0 it works. less-loader at 4 or less-loader at 4.0 
should work as well.
