Bug#1093996: sputnik: CGI does not run at all

[Nicolas George <nicolas.george@ens.psl.eu>]

Package: sputnik
Version: 12.06.27-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

If I apply the procedure described in the documentation, I get:

lua5.1: /tmp/sputnik/sputnik.cgi:13: attempt to index global 'wsapi' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
        /tmp/sputnik/sputnik.cgi:13: in main chunk
        [C]: ?

This is due to the generated sputnik.cgi file:

require("wsapi.cgi")
wsapi.cgi.run(my_app)

while other lua source file, for example wsapi/common.lua, use require
like this:

local os = require "os"

If I change to:

local wsapi_cgi = require("wsapi.cgi")
wsapi_cgi.run(my_app)

it goes a little farther:

lua5.1: /usr/share/lua/5.1/wsapi/common.lua:299: attempt to index local 'headers' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
        /usr/share/lua/5.1/wsapi/common.lua:299: in function 'run'
        /usr/share/lua/5.1/wsapi/cgi.lua:19: in function 'run'
        /tmp/sputnik/sputnik.cgi:13: in main chunk
        [C]: ?

… that I do not know how to fix. It looks like version incompatibility
between library and language.

Regards,
