"we use debian jessie, the fix to the issue was to use backports"

trying to use ve we get "(curl error: 7) Couldn't connect to server"

this started after an autoupgrade to parsoid . we use debian . from /var/log/apt/history.log

Start-Date: 2017-04-05  06:27:50

Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade

Upgrade: parsoid:amd64 (0.6.1all, 0.7.0all)

now visual editor is broken.  when edit is pressed this pops up: "(curl error: 7) Couldn't connect to server"

Has anyone else run into this? I'll do more searching for a solution.

just found possible solution here: Talk:Parsoid

related to nodejs needing an upgrade.

we use debian jessie, the fix to the issue was to use backports

aptitude -t jessie-backports install nodejs #

aptitude dist-upgrade # upgraded parsoid

Which resulted in these versions and visual editor fixed:

nodejs Version: 4.7.2~dfsg-2~bpo8+1

parsoid Version: 0.7.1all
