Antonio asks:
>> What is the error you're getting? Only the lua one?
There was both the issue of two missing libraries (solved by temporary
symlinks), and this lua failure:
# pkg install sudo
...
1/1] Installing sudo-1.9.3p1...
[1/1] Extracting sudo-1.9.3p1: 100%
pkg: Failed to execute lua script: [string "args = {}..."]:11:
attempt to call a nil value (field 'stat')
pkg: lua script failed
It seems to me that the packaging system must have errors in its
dependencies for the package named "pkg": it should not have been
possible to install pkg-1.15.10 unless its dependent libraries were
downloaded and installed first.
The Lua versions are these:
# /usr/local/bin/lua54 -v
Lua 5.4.1 Copyright (C) 1994-2020 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
# /usr/local/bin/luac54 -v
Lua 5.4.1 Copyright (C) 1994-2020 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
Unfortunately, pkg reports "lua script failed", but does not identify
the name of the failing script, which is another serious flaw in pkg.
