It's not something to worry about. The wrapper.d script just doesn't
check, wether the dir exists, before doing an ls.
Yes, this is fixed in 4.75, but this version has some annoying
problems. Hey, but it's a security update, it fixes the bug, that it
was possible to let netscape act as a server.

If you don't want to upgrade, here's a patch:
