Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported installation and tracing the Lua entry point that calls require('packer'); the error lists the lookup paths checked for packer.lua. Confirm whether the packer module is installed or whether the configuration points to the wrong location, then verify that loading the configuration no longer produces E5108.
