The `luarocks` accounts holds entries that are orphaned since we moved
the repo to the current incarnation of luarocks.org many years ago. In

those entries in the root manifest. Contact me offlist with your
account name. :)

Most of your modules are on LuaRocks anyway, and you can find the existing rock specs there ( https://luarocks.org/modules/luarocks/lcomplex )
