Package: luarocks
Version: 3.11.1+dfsg-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainers,
with the latest update to 3.11.1+dfsg-1 I cannot install/remove/list
any packages locally any more. Passing the --local flag leads to the
error posted below.
Calling luarocks-5.4 raises the same error.
$HOME/.luarocks exists and is writable.
Running commands globally (as root) works.
