Description Chris Weyl 2009-10-23 05:16:10 UTC 
Since the latest update lua-lpeg was pulled in, running "yum update" generates:

error: lua script failed: error loading module 'lpeg' from file '/usr/lib64/lua/5.1/lpeg.so':
   /usr/lib64/lua/5.1/lpeg.so: undefined symbol: lua_getmetatable


This is with lua-lpeg-0.9-2.fc11.x86_64.
Comment 1 Tim Niemueller 2009-10-23 07:43:18 UTC 
That is strange. I don't see this here, having installed lua-lpeg since July when the update was released. lpeg.so is indeed not linked to the Lua lib, as it is only dlopened from within Lua.

Can you please:
- describe in which state of yum update the problem occurs

- check what happens if you load the module in Lua, try something like:
# lua -e 'require("lpeg"); for k,v in pairs(lpeg) do print(k, tostring(v)) end'
This should print a number of functions from the module.

- Try to re-install lua-lpeg if that solves the problem

- Check what pulled in lua-lpeg with
# rpmbuild --whatrequires lua-lpeg
