 Probably about six errors like this. I worked around this by removing the files and directories it complained about.

 My next problem was that ikiwiki start letting me edit without any password authentication. It used to prompt
 me for a password but now just goes right into the "editing" mode.
 The release notes for 2.0 say password auth is still on by default.

 The third problem is that when editing my textbox is empty -- no content.
 
 This is using my custom rcs.pm which has been used thousands of times.

 Now I see it created directories for my data. I fixed that by setting 
 usedirs (I see that is in the release notes for 2.0) and rerunning ikiwiki --setup

 My followup: I used a new ikiwiki.setup based on the latest version. But no changes for me.

 I also set verbose => 1 and running ikiwiki --setup was verbose, but no changes in running CGI.
 I was hoping for some output.
 
 I am guessing that my rcs perl module stopped working on the upgrade. I didn't notice any release notes
