Description
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.
