Thanks. This bug, then, becomes a minor one: the error message doesn't explain what's wrong to someone who installed the package and all its 'Depends' and 'Recommended' dependencies, but knows nothing about its implementation. If the error message said "External ikiwiki plugins require the 'librpc-xml-perl' package, is it installed?" or similar, this bug would be fixed. -- \ “I'm having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time.
