[Morten Kjeldgaard]

Package: lua-lpeg
Version: 1.1.0-3+b1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: mok0 at mailbox.org

Dear Maintainer,

When running Lua interactively, and trying to require
the lpeg module, I get the following output:

Lua 5.5.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2026 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> local lpeg = require "lpeg"
warning: locals do not survive across lines in interactive mode
stdin:1: module 'lpeg' not found:

Listing the content of package lua-lpeg shows that there's indeed no version of the module for Lua version 5.5.
