Description

The package 'libmozjs-dev' is not available in current Ubuntu distribution. README.Unix states that this package should exist in Debian as well as Ubuntu, but it does not. This leads to
sudo apt-get install erlang libicu-dev libmozjs-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
failing.

This issue is especially important to fix since current Ubuntu distribution is an LTS (Long Time Support).
