Details

Description:
I currently have need to use npm6 with nodejs-lts-erbium, however npm6 depends on nodejs-lts-fermium not nodejs. This should work, as can be seen in the node:erbium docker container.

Additional info:
* npm6 6.14.14-1
* nodejs-lts-fermium 14.17.4-1
* https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/npm6/trunk/PKGBUILD#L14

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S npm6 nodejs-lst-erbium
This task depends upon

It seems there's no easy to fix this unfortunately, npm6 doesn't build with the latest nodejs anymore so I need to select a specific nodejs-lts (fermium being the most recent one that still works)

Setting `depends=(nodejs)` with `makedepends=(nodejs-lts-fermium)` doesn't work (although nodejs-lts-fermium `provides=(nodejs)`):

:: nodejs-lts-fermium and nodejs are in conflict. Remove nodejs? [y/N]

Removing nodejs from depends= doesn't work either because the other dependencies still pull in the nodejs package before makedepends is processed.

Your best bet right now is probably `asp checkout npm6` and building a package with nodejs-lts-erbium yourself.

What if you move the depends to the package function along with adding nodejs-lts-fermium to makedepends? See attached diff.
