Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Previously, the symbolic link pointing to the inherits@2 directory was broken. Consequently, certain packages dependent on inherits had incorrect dependencies. With this update, all symlinks point directly to the inherits directory, and inherits@2 has been removed from the file system. This is possible because inherits in version 1.* were never shipped, so it is not necessary to use symlinks to point to inherits@2. As a result, all packages have correct dependencies.

Description Miroslav Hradílek 2015-10-05 10:15:49 EDT

Description of problem:
Several modules have dependencies on inherits 2 module. Inherits is installed globally in 
/opt/rh/nodejs010/root/usr/lib/node_modules/inherits

but symlinks in affected packages are pointing to non existing target
/opt/rh/nodejs010/root/usr/lib/node_modules/inherits@2

How reproducible:
100%

Additional info:
This has been broken for a long time and I'm not exactly sure how come it even works. Our tests are obviously passing even with this bug. Either we are not hitting parts of the code needing inherits or the dependency somehow gets satisfied globally.
