Dear Maintainer,

Since Neovim 0.7 there's this issue at start:

vim/_init_packages.lua: cannot load incompatible bytecode
stack traceback:
	[C]: at 0x55d396491750
	[C]: at 0x7f0e8df71400
E970: Failed to initialize builtin lua modules

... and nvim can't start.

Apparently this is upstream's issue:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/18169

Best regards,

	Xav

Same issue for me with neovim-0.7.2-1 package from unstable installed on Debian
testing/amd64 :

$ nvim
vim/_init_packages.lua: cannot load incompatible bytecode
stack traceback:
(...)


Moreover, I compiled local Debian packages for version 0.7.2-1 from Git sources
(https://salsa.debian.org/vim-team/neovim) and I have not this issue after
installing it.


regards, Laurent

Your libluajit-5.2-1 package is out of date.  If you upgrade to the
version in unstable, does the problem go away?

Cheers,

Yes it works with libluajit-5.1-2_2.1.0~beta3+git20220320+dfsg-4.

Hello,

Bug #1014160 in neovim reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/vim-team/neovim/-/commit/6d56c66bbb3097b8fa6759482bd828a22c770f33
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only generate Lua bytecode for non-LuaJIT builds

The generated bytecode isn't compatible between beta releases of LuaJIT.
Since upstream isn't actually making releases of LuaJIT, I'm not going
to rely on it to produce compatible bytecode across whatever git
snapshots Debian has.

Closes: #1014160
