Description:

Current NPM version (10.1.0) does not support Node.js 16 unless --force is specified. Is there any way to work around this, or can we simply remove npm from its optional dependency?

Also from my perspective most packages requiring nodejs-lts-gallium to build will also build fine on Node.js 18 or 20. Since Node.js 16 is end-of-life as of September 11, maybe consider removing the package altogether?

fluidd is not on the todo list?
grafana-zabbix currently does not build with nodejs newer than 16 unless you pass --ignore-engines to yarn install [1].
mattermost builds with nodejs-lts-hydrogen though it might be better to wait for a release containing [2].

Fixed for grafana-zabbix by [1]. The pull request has been merged but there is as of writing no release containing those commits.

grafana-zabbix got a new release [1] including the above fix which is now packaged in [extra] [2] using nodejs-lts-hydrogen [3].

The ToDo list [4] is now completed. I think this bug can now be closed :)
