Ikiwiki on Debian
Using apt-get I have ikiwiki 3.20190228-1 on an amd64 Buster.
From /home/bob I run:
$ ikiwiki --setup Bob2021.setup --wrappers
and see this error:
"cannot write to /home/bob/Bob2021/.ikiwiki/lockfile: No such
file or directory"
Here is the top of that Bob2021. setup file. I hope I have the
syntax correct for the userdir tildes

# IkiWiki::Setup::Yaml - YAML formatted setup file

# Passing this to ikiwiki --setup will make ikiwiki generate
# wrappers and build the wiki.

Thank you.
