[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1003336: node-jschardet: FTBFS with webpack5: Unknown option '--output'

Source: node-jschardet
Version: 2.2.1+dfsg+~1.3.0-3
Severity: important

Hi,

We are starting to build against webpack5 in experimental and the 
package needed for local build is webpack and node-webpack-source from 
experimental.
During a test rebuild, node-jschardet was found to fail to build in that 
situation.

Relevant part (hopefully):

No build command found, searching known files
ln -s /usr/share/nodejs/buffer .
webpack --config debian/webpack.config.js --output-library=jschardet \
--entry index.js --output dist/jschardet.js
[webpack-cli] Error: Unknown option '--output'
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:19: override_dh_auto_build] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
make: *** [debian/rules:12: binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit 
status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build finished at 2022-01-08T14:54:24Z

Finished

The full log is attached to this mail.
