Sorry about that!  Some diagnostics on your system might help:

1. Can you please try to build editors/neovom with

	CMAKE_CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--debug-find

   added to editors/neovim/Makefile, and share the output?

2. Can you also share the output of `pkg_info -qL luaNN-lpeg' on your
   system, where NN is the Lua version?

3. Can you run

	ident devel/cmake/build.mk editors/neovim/Makefile devel/lua-lpeg/buildlink3.mk

   and share the output?

What's weird is that the change you quoted _fixed_ the symptom on my
system.  The change which _triggered_ the symptom was
<https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2025/01/24/msg315217.html>,
which limits the places that cmake looks so that it doesn't go
scrounging in, e.g., macports/homebrew/fink for things to link pkgsrc
packages against.  And I wouldn't expect the change you quoted to make
cmake fail to find things it found before.
