Joey, please see RecentChanges and note that this is my second bug report, because the first was unsuccessfully (bad characters in post title?). Could you please tidy it up?

I've fixed that and the bug that caused the dup.

I've just upgraded my ikiwiki from version 2.11 to the latest version 2.15. I use my own rebuilt ikiwiki package for Ubuntu Gutsy box. Now I can't rebuild all my ikiwiki pages, because of the following bug:

ptecza@anahaim:~/blog$ ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup --getctime --verbose
[...]
scanning post/2007/12/09/pink-freud-w-cafe-kulturalna.mdwn
ikiwiki.setup: Insecure dependency in mkdir while running with -T switch at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki.pm line 355.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 151.

I have a write permission to the ikiwiki destination directory:

ptecza@anahaim:~/blog$ ls -ld /var/www/blog/
drwxr-xr-x 2 ptecza ptecza 4096 2007-12-17 10:48 /var/www/blog/

I've read ikiwiki changelog for the previous releases and unfortunately I can't see any related entries. Any ideas?

Update: I've came back to ikiwiki 2.11 and... the bug still exists! Probably the reason is that I've removed all content of /var/www/blog/ before mass rebuilding. --[[Paweł|ptecza]]

I can't reproduce this bug with a setup file that tells ikiwiki to write to /var/www/blog, which doesn't exist. I get a "Permission denied" since I can't write to /var/www. If I make the permissions allow me to write to /var/www, it happily creates the blog subdirectory. If the blog subdirectory is already there and I can write to it, that of course also works.

I'll need enough information to reproduce the problem before I can fix it. Probably a copy of your setup file, wiki source, and information about how your /var/www is set up. --[[Joey]]
