Attempting to uninstall lua5.1 installs 5.2 automatically michael@debian:~$ sudo apt remove liblua5.1-0-dev liblua5.1-0 lua5.1 Installing dependencies: liblua5.2-0 liblua5.2-dev libtool-bin lua5.2 REMOVING: liblua5.1-0 liblua5.1-0-dev lua5.1 Summary: Upgrading: 0, Installing: 4, Removing: 3, Not Upgrading: 0 1 not fully installed or removed. Download size: 814 kB Space needed: 879 kB / 28.4 GB available This then let Prosody start as i figure its running lua 5.2, mind you it's also installed 5.4 too, my guess is that 5.1 is installed because of some other dep (eg. lua-expat, lua-filesystem) which then also requires 5.1. Let me know if there's anything i can do to help :)

Thanks for the report. How to handle this is documented in the release notes: https://prosody.im/doc/release/13.0.0#lua-5.1-support-removed It happens because prosody recommends luarocks (for the plugin installer) which depends on lua5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 but *not* 5.4, then lua5.1 usually gets installed and set to be /usr/bin/lua via the alternatives system.
