I successfully built the existing version of ibus-libpinyin with lua5.3 instead of lua5.1, and the resulting binary seems to work fine. Debdiff attached to bug #1735362.
So even if it would be desirable to update to newer upstream versions, that's not a blocker for this MIR, is it? ~desktop-packages is bug subscriber to ibus-sunpinyin currently, so I'd suggest the same for ibus-libpinyin and libpinyin. ** Changed in: ibus-libpinyin (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Description changed: Please include these packages in Ubuntu's component main: * ibus-libpinyin * libpinyin (the ibus-libpinyin binary depends on libpinyin7) - * lua5.1 (the ibus-libpinyin binary depends on liblua5.1-0) As has been discussed at bug #1735362 we would like to replace ibus- sunpinyin with ibus-libpinyin ("Intelligent Pinyin") in the live seed and as the default input method for typing Simplified Chinese.
