[pkg-lua-devel] Bug#1088842: fails to initialize under lua-lpeg v1.1 - due to lpeg.version change

[Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen]

Package: lua-json
Version: 1.3.4-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-lua-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org

lua-lpeg was recently upgraded to v1.1, which broke lua-json in sid,
since lpeg.version is now a string, not a function.

Filing against lua-json, as this is already fixed upstream.
