Bug#748896: minetest: Crash when clicking "Online mod repository" in "Mods" tab

[Fabian Rodriguez]

Package: minetest
Version: 0.4.9+repack-5
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

When trying to install new mods, going to the "Mods" tab has an "Online mod
repository" button. That should present a list of mods available for download
and installation.

Instead, the application crashes silently.

When run from command line with --trace, the following additional information
is shown:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'LuaError'
  what():  C++ exception
Abandon

Running with gdb brings this trace information:

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
