Motivation for this change
Luaexpat has been mistakenly marked as broken during a
20.03 a zero hydra failures tree-wide commit. Removing the broken meta
attribute.
I discovered this problem when trying to rebuild the prosody XMPP server. Prosody itself is still green on Hydra. I assume marking an input as broken does not change the overall hash hence do not trigger a rebuild? Not sure...
I'm still not 100% sure why this was marked as broken, the build does not seem to be flaky. My current best assumption here is a tooling failure. I'm now wondering whether this same bug could happen somewhere else.
