Request/Mime packages and use strict?

[scripting]

I was adding some new features to PagePark, and stirred up a hornets nest of problems with versions of the request and mime packages.

I had already updated PagePark to work with a breaking change in the mime package.

Which forced me to do an npm update on PP running on one of my servers.

Which resulted in PagePark failing to run.

I got a message about a package named hoex that was somehow invoking strict mode but using a const and this wasn't supported by the version of Node I was running. So I did my best to update Node, and it still didn't run. Did a search (should have done it sooner) and found this bit.

sass/node-sass#2100

Okay so I hard-coded the version of request at 2.81.0, but now I'm getting the same error in mime.

Meanwhile the server is down, and if a user encounters this problem I have no idea what advice to give them.

How do I get my PagePark running again?? Help! ;-)

[scripting]

Problem solved. Did a fresh install of Node.
