** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ The node-uid-number package is pretty much unusable on Focal because it
+ doesn't ship the "get-uid-gid.js" file. Since this package is a
+ dependency of npm, this means that there can be situations when npm will
+ fail to perform a certain task (see Test Plan).
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ Inside a Focal container:
+
+ # apt install npm -y
+ # npm install yarn -g
+ # rm .npm/_logs/*.log
+ # grep get-uid-gid .npm/_logs/*-debug.log
+ 57 verbose stack Error: Cannot find module './get-uid-gid.js'
+ 64 error Cannot find module './get-uid-gid.js'
+
+ When testing the fixed package, make sure to delete the logs under
+ .npm/_logs/.
+
+ [ Regression Potential ]
+
+ The potential for regression is minimal. The only scenario where I can
+ think a "regression" might occur is if the user has manually created the
+ missing file under /usr/lib/node/ and added local modifications to it,
+ which would then conflict with the official file that we will ship with
+ this update. However, this case is not supported by us.
+
+ [ Original Description ]
+
The Git repository [https://github.com/npm/uid-number/tree/v0.0.6] has a
get-uid-gid.js file which isn't included in the 0.0.6 versions of this
package.
This effectively breaks this package as functionality doesn't work
without that file. Placing the git-uid-gid.js into /usr/lib/nodejs/uid-
number/get-uid-gid.js seems to fix the issue.
