debian nodejs package provides nodejs:any #1346

Open kapouer opened 2 years ago

kapouer commented 2 years ago

Hi,

for some multiarch-support reason, debian (bookworm/12 and following releases) automatically adds Provides: nodejs:any to its binary nodejs package.

This cannot be removed (without breaking multiarch support, i guess), and is a major problem when a user wants to install nodejs from a debian nodesource repository: all other packages depending on "nodejs:any" must be removed.

Would it be possible to add Provides: nodejs:any in the nodejs package generated by nodesource ?

Thanks for considering, it would ease the pain.

You just have to add

Multi-Arch: allowed

in debian/control, section "Package: node" (or "Package: nodejs")

Hi! Any progress here on this?

Hi, any chance to see this fixed one day ? It's somewhat benign and will allow users to switch back and forth between debian and nodesource packages.
