(I am making some assumptions here)

When upgrade pkg from 1.14.x to 1.15.x or 1.16.x, pkg will first remove the df-latest.conf if it’s the same as df-latest.conf.sample, and after installing the new version, pkg will recreate the df-latest.conf from df-latest.conf.sample, but this step fails due to the Lua error. So the final symptom is that df-latest.conf gets wiped.

After upgrading to pkg 1.15.x or 1.16.x, this Lua error won’t occur.
