Description Jerry James 2022-02-03 16:05:23 UTC
Description of problem:
The man page says (in part):

LUA_PATH, LUA_PATH_5_4
       Initial value of package.cpath, the path used by require to search for Lua loaders.

That should be package.path, not package.cpath.  This caused me a minute or so of confusion. :-)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lua-5.4.3-4.fc35.x86_64

How reproducible:
N/A

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

I was like: that should be easy to fix, let's send them a pull request upstream. But apparently, they use mailing lists to do that, so I'll pass :(

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '35'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 3 Jerry James 2022-11-29 19:03:56 UTC
This man page bug is still present in Rawhide.  I am also not keen on subscribing to a mailing list to report a 1 character bug.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2023-02-07 14:52:50 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle.
Changing version to 38.

The man page bug is still present in Rawhide.  I finally broke down and subscribed to the mailing list so I can send a message about it.

Comment 7 Aoife Moloney 2025-02-26 12:51:43 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.

Comment 8 Tom "spot" Callaway 2025-03-03 16:15:22 UTC
This looks to be fixed in lua 5.4.7, in rawhide/f42 and headed to f41.
