If you need Bootstrap 3.x, then add symlink to path /usr/share/javascript/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js and depend on package libjs-bootstrap. If instead you need Bootstrap 4.x, then you should do something similar but for some path below /usr/share/javascript/bootstrap4 and package libjs-bootstrap4 (I am vague here because that package apparently use a symlink internally requiring actually installing the package to know for certain which exact path it is - no, you should *not* link below /usr/share/nodejs as that path is not reliable). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
