[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#986134: acorn: please reintroduce node-acorn as transitional package

Tue Mar 30 10:00:36 BST 2021

Source: acorn
Version: 8.0.5+ds+~cs19.19.27-2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + node-buble

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed node-buble fails to upgrade from
'buster'.
It installed fine in 'buster', then the upgrade to 'bullseye' fails.

The upgrade involves switching from the real package node-acorn to the
(versioned) virtual package node-acorn, something that is usually
difficult for apt and in this case apt fails to find a working upgrade
path. Introducing a (real) transitional package node-acorn makes the
whole process smooth.

  Done
  
  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:
  
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   node-magic-string : Breaks: node-buble (< 0.19.8-7~) but 0.19.4-3 is to be installed
  E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.


cheers,
