    Just for info before anyone waste time, too. Unfortunately Debian ships lua-event in version 5.1 only. I do not know, if you can force lua 5.2 to use the older library. Or the package maintainer must be involved. Consequently prosody (0.10.0) falls back to the operating system default connection handling. Package: lua-event Version: 0.4.3-1 Architecture: armhf Lua-Versions: 5.1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libevent-2.0-5 (>= 2.0.10-stable), lua-socket

    Have you reported this to Debian?

    No, I have not. Shall I file a bug report? I fetched the source package from the debian repo and compiled it against lua 5.2. The resulted shared object works fine. Prosody is using epoll, now. ------ If anyone wants to reproduce it, please take note that you will need to install lots of packages left behind afterwards. I recommend a (debian) bootstraped chroot environment. # (look for deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list) # apt-get install dpkg-dev # apt-get source lua-event # apt-get build-dep lua-event # cd lua-event-0.4.3 # cp debian/lua5.1.dh-lua.conf debian/lua5.2.dh-lua.conf # dpkg-buildpackage -b The result is in the parent folder in "lua-event_0.4.3-1_armhf.deb". Replace "armhf" with your arch - "amd64" for example. Just install it (outside the chroot) with "dpkg -i".

    Yes, please report to Debian.

    Done. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888648 All flavors are affected. Can be seen in the bottom file listings. https://packages.debian.org/jessie/lua-event

    Fixed in Debian 10, so I'll close this. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888648#10 There's also some hope for a backport in the near future.
