Hi,
this looks annoyingly like #835581, which I fixed a month ago. I checked
your build log and saw node-ast-types 0.9.0-2 was used... and that was
this version which got #835581 fixed.
I removed my pbuilder base.tgz and created one anew to check the
node-es6-promise 3.2.2+ds-1 build : no problem. That means I can't
reproduce the FTBFS, which makes debugging annoying.
Notice that node-es6-module-transpiler, which is used to compile this
version of node-es6-promise :
(1) has code to dump its usage text whenever something goes wrong, which
effectively hides the real problem -- last time I had a clue and could
still fix accordingly. Here I would modify /usr/bin/compile-modules by
hand to remove the exception catching... if only I could reproduce the
problem!
(2) is deprecated in favor of other module transpilers (babel or
esperanto) which we don't have in Debian (and are unlikely to have
anytime soon :-( )
The next version of node-es6-promise uses yet another module transpiler,
"rollup", to compile itself. I tried to package it (precisely to update
node-es6-promise), but rollup depends on rollup, and upstream didn't
answer my request for a bootstrap path yet.
In short: things look stuck :-/
