I have ubuntu 16.04 and lua version is 5.2.3.

It seems that this is a problem with the torch-hdf5 package running under Lua 5.2; if possible you should use luajit:

google-deepmind/torch-hdf5#79

I meet the same problem,so is there any solution here？
when i install torch-hdf5,there is a problem with: could not satisfy dependency:totem
and then install torch-totem,a problem with:could not satisfy dependency:nngraph
next,i install nngraph :sudo ~/torch/install/bin/luarocks install nngraph
when ended,it display:nngraph scm-1 is now built and installed in ./torch/install/ (license: UNKNOWN)
but when i run:sudo luarocks make in directory rorch-totem,the same problem with "could not satisfy dependency:nngraph" is also there.
