[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1017811: node-wikibase-cli: FTBFS without Internet access

[Santiago Vila]

> I have commented out a pair of test cases which attempted network access in the upload of node-wikibase-cli 15.15.4-5. Could you please check whether FTBFS continues?

Hello. Yes, it continues to fail.

You can tell by looking at the reproducible-builds page for the package:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/node-wikibase-cli.html

because packages trying to use the network fail in reproducible-builds.

Another way to tell is by using the unshare backend of sbuild:

https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild#Using_unshare_with_mmdebstrap_.28no_root_needed.29

The unshare backend also makes packages like this to fail (this is how I arrived
at this report, I'm currently helping Jochen to build the whole archive using the unshare backend).

Thanks.
