Hello,
While doing
context foo
I do get
LuaTools | merging library /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/data-ctx.lua
LuaTools | merging library /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-fio.lua
LuaTools | merging library /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-cnf.lua
LuaTools | saving merge from cont-en.lua
LuaTools | using compiled initialization file: cont-en.luc
LuaTools | using lua initialization file: cont-en.luc
/usr/bin/luatools:2329: bad argument #1 to '(for generator)' (directory metatable expected, got nil)
What should I do to get beyond that error message?
I'm using Debian on an AMD64, context package is version 2009.11.26-2
Cheers
Geert Stappers

way too old .. luatex as well as context moved on (and luatools in no
longer used)

FWIW, I get the same error message on my TL2010 installation.
$luatex --version
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.67.0-2011042320 (rev 4192)
$context --version
MTXrun | main context file:
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex
MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.24 13:05
$context --make
MTXrun | running command: luatools --make --compile cont-en
....
LuaTools | using compiled initialization file: cont-en.luc
LuaTools | using lua initialization file: cont-en.luc
/usr/bin/luatools:2734: bad argument #1 to '(for generator)' (directory
metatable expected, got nil)
...
I am pretty sure that ConTeXt in TL2010 was working at some stage and
failed after I updated. I normally just use the minimals, so I never
bothered to dig into this.

There has been a change in the lua lfs functions dealing with dir
scanning and although the context lua code has been adapted to this, it
might not be the case in all distributions. So, it's an unlucky
combination of older / newer code.
