Package: luarocks Version: 2.0.2-1 Severity: normal Installing luarocks fails with the following (appended after message) output. Trying to run the (half-installed) luarocks fails similarly.
The reason appears to be that luarocks only works with Lua 5.1, and is running the system default Lua interpreter -- but the default Lua on my system is 5.2: $ update-alternatives --display lua-interpreter lua-interpreter - auto mode link currently points to /usr/bin/lua5.2 /usr/bin/lua5.1 - priority 110 slave lua-manual: /usr/share/man/man1/lua5.1.1.gz /usr/bin/lua5.2 - priority 120 slave lua-manual: /usr/share/man/man1/lua5.2.1.gz Current 'best' version is '/usr/bin/lua5.2'. I suppose it could be fixed by having luarocks explicitly invoke "/usr/bin/lua5.1" instead of /usr/bin/lua...
