Package: luarocks Version: 2.0.2-1 Severity: serious This is the same problem as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/luarocks/+bug/923161 : in the architecture-independent luarocks package, the particular platform of the build machine is wired in.
Examining luarocks_2.0.2-1_all.deb : /usr/share/lua/5.1/luarocks/config.lua we see: ... LUAROCKS_UNAME_S=[[Linux]] LUAROCKS_UNAME_M=[[x86_64]] ... The latter is obviously incorrect on all other architectures. This can prevent the luarocks tool from being able to build packages. In Ubuntu the results are worse since their build machine was i686. Debian having LUAROCKS_UNAME_M=[[x86_64]] will at least trigger -fpic CFLAGS, which is the most pressing problem for non-i386 platforms. luarocks will automatically determine the system architecture, so if these lines are omitted from config.lua the correct behavior results. I posted a patch on the Ubuntu page, but it's not correct. config.lua is generated at build time; the Debian build rules should just 'grep -v' out the LUAROCKS_UNAME_ lines from config.lua at the time of installation. Feel free to do something more complicated instead, or mark the package architecture any rather than all. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
