[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Bug#1029794: prosody-modules: mod_firewall attempts to call global 'is_admin' a nill value preventing prosody from starting

[Diane Trout]

Package: prosody-modules
Version: 0.0~hg20230116.ca7feb293d55+dfsg-1~bpo11+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I did also talk to the prosody developers and filed the bug with them
as well. I'll mark the forwarded when this gets an bug number assigned.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I upgraded the Debian bullseye backport packages from:
prosody 0.12.1-1~bpo11+1 to 0.12.2-1~bpo11+1 
prosody-modules 0.0~hg20220613.59bedf167910+dfsg-1~bpo11+1 0.0~hg20230116.ca7feb293d55+dfsg-1~bpo11+1

2. I had mod_firewall enabled in prosody.cfg and on restart, I had these errors in the systemd journal.

c2sea5ba0: Traceback[c2s]: mod_firewall::deliver:23: attempt to call global 'is_admin' (a nil valu>
     stack traceback:
     mod_firewall::deliver:23: in function '?'

     /usr/lib/prosody/util/async.lua:144: in function </usr/lib/prosody/util/async.lua:142>

I had to disable the firewall to get prosody to load correctly, but I
would like the firewall available for antispam purposes.
