[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1056691: nodejs: Compatibility with c-ares 1.21.0

[Gregor Jasny]

Package: nodejs
Version: 18.13.0+dfsg1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hello,

while packaging c-ares 1.21.0 (and newer) I noticed that the autopkgtests
fail for nodejs. The problem was reported to the c-ares[1] and node[2]
upstream and a fix for the overly strict tests landed in nodejs mainline[3].

Could you please apply the patch[3] to the unstable version of nodejs so that
the c-ares package could pass the autopkgtest migration barrier?

In case your nodejs package build runs the node test suite (which fails with the
c-ares version in sid) this bug might even be a serious FTBFS one.

Thanks,
Gregor
