[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#996909: acorn: Invalid package section for node-debbundle-acorn

[Steve Langasek]

Package: acorn
Version: 8.5.0+ds+~cs24.17.6-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi Bastien,

The latest version of acorn has node-debbundle-acorn listed in Section:
oldlib.  This is invalid; the correct section name is 'oldlibs'.  In the
Debian archive, this is not an issue because the Debian archive applies
overrides to all packages (indeed, I see the archive still lists this
package as 'Section: javascript'), but in Ubuntu this blocks the binary
package from being uploaded.  So I have applied the attached patch for
Ubuntu, which should also be correct for Debian.

Cheers,
