Thanks to all .... I do have the script-manager now correctly installed.
I was under the impression that previously it had installed with
darktable ... I may/must have been dreaming. Somehow it appears to me
that installing it as a part of the general install would be the obvious
thing to do ... what do I know!

Actually the purpose of the script was to get away from the luarc
file. You had to write a piece of code, i.e. the luarc file, in order
to use the scripts. Also, if you had a misbehaving script that
crashed, then the rest of the scripts specified in the file wouldn't
load. script_manager solved all of that along with letting you turn
on scripts on the fly. The loading and updating was an additional
feature to lower the bar of entry. I had originally envisioned it
shipping as part of darktable and replacing the supplied luarc file.
I did a pull request for that, but it was declined. After that I
offered it as a standalone script for a couple of years before adding
it to the repository.
David, since you're running a development version of darktable, did
you create a new configuration directory and forget to install the lua
scripts? You can fix it with
cd ~/.config/<my new darktable config dir>;git clone
https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts lua;ln -s
lua/tools/script_manager.lua luarc

The idea of a Lua script that one manually installs in order to
avoid the manual Lua-script-installation process does seem a
little counterintuitive.
But if the script manager is already installed in the
'.config/darktable' directory and was working with a previous
version of Darktable, there is likely a Lua error someplace -- try
running Darktable with the '-d lua' switch and see what comes up
in the terminal.

Apologies if I'm pointing out the obvious here, but the script
manager is itself a Lua script, which must be added by the
user. It's not part of the darktable core.
