Detailsconky updated their config format, and uses a lua script to convert from the old config, the lua script uses loadstring which was deprecated, so after the recent update I got the error:
conky: [string "..."]:159: attempt to call a nil value (global 'loadstring') when trying to start conky. I edited /usr/share/doc/conky-1.11.5_pre/convert.lua and changed loadstring to load, and could then convert my conky config to the new format and it worked fine. |

I ran into the same problem today and was able to convert my config using the script and modification you mentioned. Thank you.
