[pkg-lua-devel] Bug#1064980: lua-dkjson 2.5-3 missing symlink for lua5.4

[Fabian Thrum]

Package: lua-dkjson
Version: 2.5-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: fabian.thrum at nfon.com

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to use lua-dkjson 2.5-3 with debian 11 and lua 5.4.
The library can not be included/used because because it is missing in the LUAPATH of lua5.4
I added the symlink manually and than it worked. 
mkdir /usr/share/lua/5.4
ln -s /../5.1/dkjson.lua /usr/share/lua/5.4/dkjson.lua
After that I could use the lib also with lua5.4
My admin preferes to have it fixed in the package before rolling it out on many mashines.
The missing symlink is present/fixend with Debian 12 and lua-dkjson 2.6-2.
I suggest to options as a way to fix it:
- The missing symlink can be added to 2.5.3
- Or version 2.6-2 gets added to debian 11 as default
