Package: npm
Version: 1.4.21+ds-2
Followup-For: Bug #837929
I got hit by this bug today. I'm a noob on Javascript and only wanted to
install npm to explore some gnome shell extension functionality, which
requried me to try out some JS modules.
Upon installing npm, and then trying installing a module, doesn't give a
good experience on Debian.
