Having got your nice message, I reconfigured to use an http server,
installed the package mentioned, reconfigured it back to ftp, and got
another similar message, and later on a third one. What with the time to
reload the packages files every time you reconfigure, this was pretty
tedious.
Any chance you could get it to list _all_ the modules that are missing
rather than just the first one it finds?
