greenbone-security-assistant ftbfs, trying to access the network.

even after adding node-babel-cli as a b-d:

My first sbuild of this also fails, but for a different reason. So I can confirm the bug as well.

[Dan Bungert (dbungert)]

I believe that the dependencies for this package are not satisfiable for an offline build. In gsa/package.json, it lists several packages that don't appear to be present in Ubuntu. Note that the build in debian only succeeds seemingly by this comment:
"It needs to download many DFSG-free node modules during build of the arch all package"

Even some of the packages that it asks for are too old - for instance it asks for @babel/cli, but the package.json requests 7.10.4 or newer where we have 6.26.0.

Also Debian is in the process of removing this one, I suggest Ubuntu does the same.

The package is not removed from Debian unstable, only from testing to not be in stable. But the package is voluntarily in "contrib" because it's not self-contained and indeed requires network access to download many dependencies.

demoted to -proposed

Deleted in hirsute (by the bug submitter):

Debian #986531, LP: #1923066 demote gvm-libs and rdeps

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

gvm-libs does not depend on greenbone-security-assistant and appears to be otherwise migratable except for this bug.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

As do its reverse-dependencies.
