Package: node-http-server
Version: 14.1.1+~cs3.16.36-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5

Dear Maintainer,

The http-server npm package which is packaged for Debian in this package 
requires the npm package 'opener' in order to function, or else it will 
throw an error.

  Error: Cannot find module 'opener'

This is also found in the package.json file.

  "dependencies": {
...
      "opener": "^1.5.1",
...
  },

'opener' is packaged for Debian already as node-opener, so for the 
package to function this must be defined in the control file as a 
Depends: directive.


Best Regards,
Jonathan Rubenstein
