[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#841614: node-es6-promise: FTBFS: compile-modules shows help

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: node-es6-promise
Version: 3.2.2+ds-1
Severity: serious
Tags: stretch sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20161021 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):
> make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/node-es6-promise-3.2.2+ds'
> mkdir dist
> compile-modules convert -f bundle -o dist/es6-promise.js lib/es6-promise.umd.js
> compile-modules [--help] [--version] <command> [<args>]
> 
> Commands
> 
>   convert  Converts modules from `import`/`export` to an ES5 equivalent.
>   help     Display help for a given command.
> debian/rules:10: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_build' failed
> make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_build] Error 1

If the failure looks somehow time/timezone related:
Note that this rebuild was performed without the 'tzdata' package
installed in the chroot. tzdata used be (transitively) part of
build-essential, but it no longer is. If this package requires it to
build, it should be added to build-depends. For the release team's
opinion on this, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=836940#185

If the failure looks LSB-related:
similarly to tzdata, lsb-base is not installed in the build chroot.

The full build log is available from:

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
