MailerContrib error on install

Noticed a recent update to BugsContrib and installed it via bin/configure into the FoswikiVM.

Though this comes pre-installed with MailerContrib I believe (version shows 03 Dec 2008 (1437, 08 Jan 2009)), the install script reported:
Checking dependency on MailerContrib.... *** BugsContrib depends on perl package MailerContrib >0 which is described as "Optional." But when I tried to find it I got this error:  Can't locate MailerContrib.pm 
Expected?

-Update: same error after first updating to the most current version of MailerContrib first.


And does lib/Foswiki/Contrib/MailerContrib.pm actually exist, and is it readable by the webserver user?

Yes, same owner:group and permissions as the others in that directory.

OK, I see there is an error in the DEPENDENCIES for the BugsContrib. It depends on MailerContrib where it should depend on Foswiki::Contrib::MailerContrib.

Raised Tasks.Item919 - please monitor that task for the fix. A workaround is to install the extension manually from the command-line.
