Description:

the 'vicious' package is only useful for the awesome window manager; but it is not functional - the 'vicious' package is installed
but the 'awesome' package is built against 'lua53', and so is unable to find the vicious library

Steps to reproduce:

* install awesome and vicious

# pacman -S awesome vicious

* require the vicious' library by creating ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua, with the text:

local vicious = require("vicious")

* start the awesome WM

-> a graphical error message is displayed explaining the problem
This task depends upon
