08:00 pm - Bizarre Wiki errors

I was doing a MediaWiki install today, and it threw a very nasty error during the setup, irately informing me that the require_once file install-utils.inc wasn't found, which brought the installation to a screeching halt.

An investigation illuminated me as to why the MediaWiki installer was informing me the install-utils.inc file was missing.

It was insisting the install-utils.inc file was missing... because it was. Completely absent from the .gz MediaWiki was offering for download.

I downloaded a copy of it off Mediawiki's trunk. Ran fine then.
