Hi Bernd,

are you sure the above is an unmodified copy&paste? Because the defined
LUA_PATH does not match the Lua output. Just to be on the safe side, I
would `export LUA_PATH=...` before the `exec` call instead.

`cmd.lua` is present in the tarball at `luarocks-3.0.1/src/luarocks/`.
You must update your LUA_PATH accordingly and fix what is wrong on your
side (i.e. the method you use for looking up files or how you ended up
with a corrupt `luarocks-3.0.1` folder).

Ciao.
