Hi,

This sounds good. I will try also there.

You are right - this kind of solution is cleaner. And I never meant that I 
wish to have autopackage - just sth. that is comparable - in the ease of use.

I am using the 8.04 LTS Version, and highest available Lua there is 5.1.3 (and 
there are also some older ones)

But may be the maintainer will show understanding and update/recreate his 
package....

thanks and regards
