Package: node-gyp
Version: 6.1.0-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
current node-gyp on Debian seems to be broken: trying to build a package that
relies on node-gyp fails, saying
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/nodejs/node-gyp/gyp/gyp_main.py", line 6, in <module>

in resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'gyp==0.1' distribution was not found
and is required by the application
This is after I had to install the Python 2 version of pkg_resources to even
get to far. Probably, node-gyp is using Python 2, even though its own
dependencies point to Python 2.
I think I got everything to work by patching lib/find-python.js to disable the
"python" and "python2" detectors.
Kind regards,
Ralf
