lua-resty-core update causes crashloop on startup for ingress-nginx-controller #70513
Description
Installing ingress-nginx-controller-1.13-1.13.3-r2 also installs lua-resty-core-0.1.32-r0 as a dependency as of 2025-10-30. Prior to this week, it installed lua-resty-core-0.1.31-r2.
Relevant change: #70335
On startup, with no config changes, I see these errors:
2025/11/01 03:51:43 [alert] 21#21: failed to load the 'resty.core' module (https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-core); ensure you are using an OpenResty release from https://openresty.org/en/download.html (reason: /usr/lib/lua/resty/core/base.lua:24: ngx_http_lua_module 0.10.29 required) in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:7
