Alright, I've tested the packages in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/+archive/latesyncs
These are direct no-change syncs to the PPA from debian unstable. npm works perfectly. Here is a snippet from running the 'subway' install script from the juju charm, which uses npm for installing things: + git clone https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway.git Cloning into 'subway'... remote: Counting objects: 2453, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (868/868), done. remote: Total 2453 (delta 1572), reused 2446 (delta 1566) Receiving objects: 100% (2453/2453), 857.79 KiB | 640 KiB/s, done.
