Installation on debian-12 fails

[craff]

argparse is needed and fails to install:

$ sudo luarocks-5.1 install --only-deps snapcloud-dev-0.rockspec 
Using dependencies pinned in lockfile: ./luarocks.lock
snapcloud dev-0 is pinned to ansicolors 1.0.2-3 (1.0.2-3 installed)
snapcloud dev-0 is pinned to argparse scm-2 (not installed)

Error: Could not satisfy dependency argparse scm-2: No results matching query were found for Lua 5.1.

Yeah, I don't know what happened recently(ish) with argparse. It's safe to install without the lock file, or to manually install argparse then fix the lock file version.

What do you mean by manual install ? Using luarocks-5.1 gives the same error.

I think you can just luarocks install argparse

I used the macOS wrapper (that just defaults to 5.1 and finds the right cflags), but the same thing should work:

👉 ./bin/luarocks-macos install argparse
Installing https://luarocks.org/argparse-0.7.1-1.src.rock

argparse 0.7.1-1 depends on lua >= 5.1, < 5.5 (5.1-1 provided by VM)
argparse 0.7.1-1 is now installed in /Volumes/Michael/Users/michael/.luarocks (license: MIT)

Checking stability of dependencies in the absence of
argparse scm-2...

Removing argparse scm-2...
Removal successful.

At some point I was going to figure out exactly what happened with argparse or just regenerate the rockspec.
