fails to parse package.json for yarn

[simevo]

npm2deb yarn

does not fill the Depends and Build-Depends.

This in turn prevents the js_task_edit.py script (https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-javascript/js-task-wiki-edit.git) from generating a proper Task

@simevo, nm2deb works as expected.

• yarn's package.json from npm does not list any dependencies or dev deps. you can check with npm v yarn. That is why dependencies are not filled in d/control file
• behavior of js_task_edit.py doesn't depend on npm2deb. The observed behavior results from reason mentioned above. However you can use js_task_edit.py -f <package.json from github repo> to generate tasks
• dh_install failure (dh_install: Cannot find (any matches for) "lib") is due to the difference in directory structure between tarballs of npm registry and github

many thanks for the clarifications

your tip to use js_task_edit.py -f yarn/package.json made it, but I had to manually remove the line with eslint-plugin-yarn-internal else the script chokes on that
