Quoting from the Fedora tracking bug for this bug 1862371 comment 3:

> 
> compat-lua / lua 5.1 does not have an oldpc variable in its state-struct, so

Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation.
Just close this bug as NOTABUG and that's it.

Thanks for looking at it.

The same applies to the EPEL package, so I'm closing this bug as NOTABUG.
