 Using ikiwiki version 2.5gpa1 (the backport to Debian 3.1), I suddenly started getting the following error when rebuilding the wiki:
 
+<pre>
 successfully generated /home/ikiwiki/cgi-bin/ikiwiki.cgi
 Insecure dependency in rmdir while running with -T switch at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Render.pm line 242.
 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 130.

 I've no idea what's happening (hey, I'm a C programmer), but I've hacked prune() to workaround this as follows:
 
+<pre>
 use Scalar::Util qw(tainted);
 
-sub prune ($) { #{{{
+sub prune ($) {
         my $file=shift;
 
         unlink($file);
