After the last update of nvim I find the error
Error detected while processing BufReadPost Autocommands for "*":

when trying opening a *.lua file. I suspect a package error. I checked treesiter: it finds an error loading lua parser:

I did install nvim on the latest Tumbleweed:
$ sudo zypper install --no-recommends neovim
...
The following 19 NEW packages are going to be installed:

tree-sitter-markdown tree-sitter-python tree-sitter-query tree-sitter-vim tree-sitter-vimdoc
19 new packages to install.
Package download size: 7.9 MiB
> nvim --version
NVIM v0.11.5

But nvim should me an edit window and I can create a document and write it to a text file.

Thank you for your comment: did you try to open a *.lua file, the error only concerns the lua parser of treesitter.

zypper dup gives now “nothing to do”
I think that the problem comes from the neovim package, because the dependencies are apparently correctly installed (in particular version 0.25x of treesitter library)

Okay lua parsing specific.
But that is not the error that nvim :checkhealth shows:
❌ ERROR Parser "lua" failed to load (path: /usr/share/nvim/runtime/parser/lua.so): /usr/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/treesitter/language.lua:137: Failed to load parser for language 'lua': uv_dlopen: /usr/share/nvim/runtime/parser/lua.so: undefined symbol: tree_sitter_lua_external_scanner_create
But indeed tree_sitter_lua_external_scanner_create is present in that file.
