[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1008287: Failed install of npm backports package

[Christian P. MOMON]

Package: npm
Version: 8.3.1~ds-1~bpo11+1

    When I install the npm backports package, I get an error:

root at pad:/etc/apt# apt install -t bullseye-backports npm
Reading package lists... 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:
   npm : Depends: nodejs:any (>= 10) but it is not installable
         Recommends: node-tap but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


   Yet the nodejs package is installed with good version:

root at pad:/etc/apt# dpkg -l nodejs apt
ii  apt            2.2.4               amd64        commandline package 
manager
ii  nodejs         12.22.5~dfsg-2~11u1 amd64        evented I/O for V8 
javascript - runtime executable

root at pad:/etc/apt# grep "^deb" sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main



I am using Debian Stable up to date:
root at pad:/etc/apt# cat /etc/debian_version
11.2
root at pad:/etc/apt# uname -a
Linux pad 5.10.0-12-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.103-1 (2022-03-07) x86_64 
GNU/Linux

   With all my encouragement,

   Cpm.
