Public bug reported:

$ texdoc
/usr/bin/texdoc:42: Internal error: Texdoc is not installed properly.

The line that fails is:

  local texdoc = require 'texdoclib'

so there seems to be something wrong with texlua's path searching.

A workaround is to cd to /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/texdoc
and then run the texdoc command, as the required file is then found in
the current directory.
