Hi, Ludwig,

the problem is lua and lua52 provides the same lua and conflicts each other.

so there're two possible solutions:

1. update lua to 5.3 source
2. drop lua52

a lua53 will not solve the problem unluckily...

I'm preparing an update stack for "lua" package, just don't know if it'll
be accepted because so far as I remember, lua is one of the
bootstrap/basesystem stuff.

about solution No.2, I don't if we can drop packages from release
products...but I can
update it to a dummy package (only install a README.SORRY.STUFF to
/usr/share/doc/packages)

which one is better? or there's a 3rd solution?

thanks

Marguerite
