• Bug#1064980: lua-dkjson 2.5-3 missing symlink for lua5.4

    From Fabian Thrum@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 28 18:40:02 2024
    Package: lua-dkjson
    Version: 2.5-3
    Severity: normal

    Dear Maintainer,

    I tried to use lua-dkjson 2.5-3 with debian 11 and lua 5.4.
    The library can not be included/used because because it is missing in the LUAPATH of lua5.4
    I added the symlink manually and than it worked.
    mkdir /usr/share/lua/5.4
    ln -s /../5.1/dkjson.lua /usr/share/lua/5.4/dkjson.lua
    After that I could use the lib also with lua5.4
    My admin preferes to have it fixed in the package before rolling it out on many mashines.
    The missing symlink is present/fixend with Debian 12 and lua-dkjson 2.6-2.
    I suggest to options as a way to fix it:
    - The missing symlink can be added to 2.5.3
    - Or version 2.6-2 gets added to debian 11 as default
