Package: npm Version: 5.8.0+ds6-4+deb10u1 Severity: normal I am following some HOWTO guide and run
# npm install matrix-appservice-irc --global and it fails because git is missing npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v10.19.0 npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version. npm WARN npm Supported releases of Node.js are the latest release of 4, 6, 7, 8, 9. npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/ npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142 npm ERR! code ENOGIT npm ERR!

A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2020-05-11T14_18_42_261Z-debug.log I guess getting sources using git is a normal way for npm. Then I guess git should be listed in 'depends' section for npm. Or at least in 'suggests'. But it is not listed at all. As debian user I expect when I am installing a package, I get all things that is needed for it's normal work. Here I it is not like that. So, can you please fix it. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages npm depends on: ii ca-certificates 20190110 ii node-abbrev 1.1.1-1 ii node-ansi 0.3.0-3 ii node-ansi-regex 3.0.0-1 ii node-ansistyles 0.1.3-1 ii node-aproba 1.2.0-1 ii node-archy 1.0.0-2 ii node-bluebird 3.5.1+dfsg2-2 ii node-boxen 1.2.2-1 ii node-cacache 11.3.2-2 ii node-call-limit 1.1.0-1 ii node-chownr 1.1.1-1 ii node-config-chain 1.1.11-1 ii node-detect-indent 5.0.0-1 ii node-detect-newline 2.1.0-1 ii node-editor 1.0.0-1 ii node-encoding 0.1.12-2 ii node-errno 0.1.4-1 ii node-from2 2.3.0-1 ii node-fs-vacuum 1.2.10-2 ii node-fs-write-stream-atomic 1.0.10-4 ii node-glob 7.1.3-2 ii node-graceful-fs 4.1.11-1 ii node-gyp 3.8.0-6 ii node-has-unicode 2.0.1-2 ii node-hosted-git-info 2.7.1-1 ii node-iferr 1.0.2-1 ii node-import-lazy 3.0.0.REALLY.2.1.0-1 ii node-inflight 1.0.6-1 ii node-inherits 2.0.3-1 ii node-ini 1.3.5-1 ii node-is-npm 1.0.0-1 ii node-json-parse-better-errors 1.0.2-2 ii node-jsonstream 1.3.2-1 ii node-latest-version 3.1.0-1 ii node-lazy-property 1.0.0-3 ii node-libnpx 10.2.0+repack-1 ii node-lockfile 1.0.4-1 ii node-lru-cache 5.1.1-4 ii node-mississippi 3.0.0-1 ii node-mkdirp 0.5.1-1 ii node-move-concurrently 1.0.1-2 ii node-nopt 3.0.6-3 ii node-normalize-package-data 2.4.0-1 ii node-npm-package-arg 6.0.0-2 ii node-npmlog 4.1.2-1 ii node-once 1.4.0-3 ii node-opener 1.4.3-1 ii node-osenv 0.1.5-1 ii node-path-is-inside 1.0.2-1 ii node-promise-inflight 1.0.1-1 ii node-promzard 0.3.0-1 ii node-qw 1.0.1-1 ii node-read 1.0.7-1 ii node-read-package-json 2.0.13-1 ii node-request 2.88.1-2 ii node-resolve-from 4.0.0-1 ii node-retry 0.10.1-1 ii node-rimraf 2.6.2-1 ii node-safe-buffer 5.1.2-1 ii node-semver 5.5.1-1 ii node-semver-diff 2.1.0-2 ii node-sha 2.0.1-1 ii node-slide 1.1.6-2 ii node-sorted-object 2.0.1-1 ii node-ssri 5.2.4-2 ii node-stream-iterate 1.2.0-4 ii node-strip-ansi 4.0.0-1 ii node-tar 4.4.6+ds1-3 ii node-text-table 0.2.0-2 ii node-uid-number 0.0.6-1 ii node-unique-filename 1.1.0+ds-2 ii node-unpipe 1.0.0-1 ii node-validate-npm-package-name 3.0.0-1 ii node-which 1.3.0-2 ii node-wrappy 1.0.2-1 ii node-write-file-atomic 2.3.0-1 ii node-xdg-basedir 3.0.0-1 ii nodejs 10.19.0~dfsg1-1 npm recommends no packages. npm suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
