+I got this failure when trying to build ikiwiki version 3.20100403:

+Note that I had been trying to upgrade with an installed ikiwiki 3.20091114
+already in place under /opt/ikiwiki.  The build does not fail for me
+if I first remove the old ikiwiki installation, nor does it fail with
+3.20100403 or newer installed at /opt/ikiwiki.  Hence this is not
+really a critical bug, although it's somewhat perplexing to me why it
+ought to make a difference.
