I guess it happened because in ubuntu node installed as nodejs and not as node

_It is caused because ubuntu call it nodejs and not node_ I just created symlink and it started to work.. so we need to fix this issue...... (and to check if its not happened on other places/repos of mean)

I'd rather propose my approach (dating back to 2 years ago): give up on ubuntu's support for nodejs and install manually, from nodejs' tar.gz. Ubuntu tends to be rather slow in supporting fast changing nodejs development (when nodejs switched to 0.8 Ubuntu remained on 0.6 for months), and - as you have proven - tends to do weird stuff with symlinking.
