Subject: ctype=nodejs seems not working in node-yarnpkg
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2020 17:53:28 +0530
Package: devscripts
Version: 2.20.5
severity: important

For node-yarnpkg, package.json has

"normalize-url": "^2.0.0",

But without forcing version 2 like

https://registry.npmjs.org/normalize-url/-/normalize-url-(2[\d\.]+)@ARCHIVE_EXT@ 
checksum

it downloads the latest version 5.3.0 negating the usefulness of 
ctype=nodejs.

open ended versions like,
https://registry.npmjs.org/normalize-url/-/normalize-url-([\d\.]+)@ARCHIVE_EXT@ 
checksum

does not work. So we have to always select the versions manually.
