(Bug generated from 
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/msg/451dd2d776eb090c.)

If someone downloads Rakudo from the master branch and tries to use
it with a copy of Parrot obtained via a release tarball, sometimes 
the error message will read:

  $ perl Configure.pl
  Reading configuration information from parrot_config ...
  ===SORRY!===
  Parrot revision r48225 required (currently r0) 

That "r0" is often confusing to people.  Instead, the error message
should be changed to read something like

  ===SORRY!===
  Parrot revision r48225 required (r48225 is likely a revision of
  Parrot that comes after 2.6.0).

This message should generally appear when parrot_config reports
a zero value for revision.

I'll fix this bug myself if nobody beats me to it -- I'm entering 
it in RT so I can refer to this ticket in the original Debian bug 
report and so I don't forget to do it.  :-)
