Thanks I was able to use the equivs package to get parsoid to run properly - I also then found the following link in some fine print on MW Parsoid/Setup page which works too: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager

I'm trying to install parsoid on Ubuntu 12. I installed nodejs from source, but when I try and install parsoid via apt-get it fails saying that it depends on nodejs (>= 0.8.0) even though node --version returns v0.10.31!
Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
The package manager doesn't know anything about software you manually installed.
The ideal thing to do would be to just install the nodejs package: I see Ubuntu trusty has 0.10.25, and Debian has 0.10.29 in both testing and unstable. You may be able to just download the source package and rebuild it for precise.
Or you could try using the "equivs" package to fake out the package manager.
