When you use the `--verbose` option you’ll get details about underlying
commands executed and their results (introduced in the 2.1.2 release). That
will probably provide some more clues on to why this fails.

Subject: Re: [Luarocks-developers] Unable to install lunitx via luarocks (on
Lua 5.1 AND Lua 5.2)
Thanks for the response. I tried again with the following process
1. I removed luarocks 2.0.8 from the ubuntu by doing sudo apt-get
remove luarocks. This was successful.
2. Then downloaded luarock 2.1.2. configure. make . sudo make install.
All successful.
3. Then tried to install lunitx. Unsuccessful. The formatted transcript
is provided below

What are the specific issues you had with 2.1.2? I could not reproduce
it here, htmlparser and lunitx installed with no problems:
```
] bin/luarocks install htmlparser

Missing dependencies for htmlparser:
