vim/_init_packages.lua: cannot load incompatible bytecode

[tiankaixie]

Problem

I was using nvim for a couple of months and it works normally, but I got this error recently when I was trying to open nvim:

vim/_init_packages.lua: cannot load incompatible bytecode
stack traceback:
        [C]: at 0x562d28d0b13c
        [C]: at 0x7f6886674370
E970: Failed to initialize builtin lua modules

I was not sure if this is related to my system upgrade. I upgraded Ubuntu from 22.04 to 23.04.

I searched the related problem but they did not help. I figure there is something to do with this upgrade since vim did not work either. I was wondering if there was a way to work around it instead of reinstalling the system.

Steps to reproduce

nvim

Expected behavior

open normally

Neovim version (nvim -v)

0.8

Vim (not Nvim) behaves the same?

yes

Operating system/version

Ubuntu 23.04

Terminal name/version

xterm-3.1

$TERM environment variable

xterm-256color

Installation

apt

Sorry, but that's not nearly enough to go on. Try with nvim --clean, or reinstall Neovim (which is at 0.9 now)

I have the same error message when I use the neovim unstable PPA (maintained by neovim team) on ubuntu 22.04 within WSL2. No idea what's going on. It works several week ago.

It's not, though.

What kind of information you need?

It's my ldd
