It looks like you have an incompatibility between the version of Nmap
and the version of the files in /usr/share/nmap/nselib. The stdnse.c
module is not a Lua file, it is built into the Nmap executable. It
includes the stdnse.sleep function, which was added in Nmap 4.85BETA4.

Try removing the /usr/share/nmap/nselib directory and reinstalling Nmap
4.76. Also run "which nmap" to be sure that you are running the nmap
that you expect.
