1774298 - `mach bootstrap` fails with "E: Unable to locate package watchman"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Bootstrap Configuration, defect, P3)

Description

Attachment: Output of `mach bootstrap`

Running on Debian 10 (yes, I know, it's oldstable and I should upgrade). All the same, is it necessary for watchman to be a hard dependency?

FWIW, removing this line makes mach bootstrap and mach build succeed, suggesting the hard dependency is not necessary.

Which version of Debian are you on? Checking pkgs.org it seems that 11+ should have that package, I'll try to make it conditional.
