[pkg-lua-devel] Bug#1117971: src:lua-system: fails to migrate to testing for too long: FTBFS on s390x

[Pranav P]

Hi,

I was looking into this and saw that this is failing on my x86 machine as well.
On further inspection I saw the there has been a drop in support for lua5.2
in several lua packages (in lua-busted, lua-penlight, lua-mediator, lua-cliargs and
lua-dkjson). After re-enabling these packages locally, I was able to see the autopkgtest
pass for lua-system. If the plan is to drop support for lua5.2 then I guess the tests
need to be updated.

Thanks,
Pranav
