Re,
This would be really appreciated.
So I just tested on clean docker images of debian stable and unstable. All was working fine on debian stable, but I got an error on unstable (a different one than yours, though). I updated the webpack and webpack-cli dependencies to the latest versions, it solved the problem, and I think it should fix your issue too.
So what I would advise is :- if possible, remove the webpack and node-webpack-merge debian packages to avoid version conflicts.
- to install packer, you will also need the libcurl4-openssl-dev and libxml2-dev debian packages.
Then run the following (please clone the github repository again, or pull the latest version) :
$ git clone https://github.com/juba/scatterD3
$ cd scatterD3
$ npm install --production=false
$ LC_ALL=C R --no-save <<EOT
> install.packages("packer")
> packer::bundle_prod()
> EOT
And I think it should work (at least I really hope so).
Thanks again for your work and sorry for the wasted time on this.
