For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@localhost), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

SvenDowideit: MartinCleaver, that would be because you don't use configure to install plugins for debian?

Correct way:
extranet:~# apt-get twiki-autoviewtemplateplugin
E: Invalid operation twiki-autoviewtemplateplugin
extranet:~# apt-get install twiki-autoviewtemplateplugin

Configure should at least tell the user that they should use apt-get.
