Public bug reported:
"nmap -A example.com" fails on hosts that find a HTTP(S) port due to missing
LUA libraries.
Problem found in package nmap-4.62-1ubuntu1.
nmap should either include the necessary lua libraries like they do for the
scripts of previous versions(in the/usr/share/nmap/nselib and
/usr/lib/nmap/nselib-bin directories) or depend on the necessary lua libs and
modify nmap to look in the debian locations.
Relevant output from the program, first run(after fixing this missing
library, it asks for about 5 more before you're done):
LUA INTERPRETER in nse_init.cc:763: /usr/share/nmap/scripts/robots.nse:4:
