Subject: node-mapnik doesn't appear to be linking correctly, making it unusable

Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2017 04:03:16 -0600

Package: node-mapnik
Version: 3.6.2+dfsg-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

On both Debian and Ubuntu, executing the simple autopkgtest command for
node-mapnik (nodejs -e "require('mapnik');") leads to an error resolving
symbols:

Debian:
-------

    at Module._compile (module.js:570:32)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10)

This pretty clearly makes the package entirely unusable (unless there's
some other way to use it correctly, and the autopkgtest is incorrect?)

This is a known issue. And not one I'm willing to spend time on, since
there are no known users of the node-mapnik package.

The Mapnik ecosystem is quite fragile, with an upstream who relies on
mason builds (often from development branches), making packaging quite a
chore.

I think the node-mapnik package and its node-tilelive-* rdeps should be
removed from Debian (and by extension Ubuntu), and we should give up on
ever packaging kosmtik (#805308).

Kind Regards,

Bas

If you file an ftp.d.o removal bug to that effect, I'll be more than
happy to also remove it from Ubuntu.  I certainly have no sentimental
attachment to it, after spending time arguing with it blocking some
transitions for me. :P

The mapnik::freetype_engine issue seems to have been fixed with Mapnik
3.0.17 and the latest changes from the node-mapnik upstream git repository.

node-mapnik (3.6.2+dfsg-2) passes the CI tests again in Debian.

I still think that we should remove node-mapnik and its reverse
dependencies from Debian, but since I'm not the maintainer of the
package at least Jérémy will need to consent to it.
