Description
Describe your bug
Currently, the nodesource nodejs packages do not provide the virtual node-types-node dependency which is found in (almost?) all Debian/Ubuntu source packages. This means that it's not possible to simply use the former to replace their Debian/Ubuntu counterpart when, e.g., trying to build/backport packages from source.
Distribution Information:
- OS: Ubuntu/Debian (all current versions)
Node Version:
- Node: all tested versions (e.g., 16.x, 18.x versus those that come with Ubuntu/Debian)
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Register the third party nodesource repository in question
- Install/update
nodejs - Try to install
node-types-node(e.g., by installing all required dependencies when trying to rebuild a Debian/Ubuntunode*package from source usingapt-get build-dep ...) – this fails as only the "original"nodejspackage provides this, but its newer nodesource counterpart does not.
Expected behavior
The above dependency is fulfilled using the newer/current nodesource nodejs package.
