I have tried to install it:

$ luarocks install --local luapgsql
Missing dependencies for luapgsql:
lua >= 5.1, == lua, < 5.3
Error: Could not satisfy dependency: lua >= 5.1, == lua, < 5.3


The problem is in the lua version field. It is set to "lua >= 5.1, lua
< 5.3". Replace it with "lua >= 5.1, < 5.3".

For more information about the rockspec format, see
