Bug Description
Binary package hint: inkscape
When choosing to extrude a path I get the attached message. It would be far better to automaticly startup synaptics install the needed packages. Nevertheless - I installed the libxml*perl packages and the message STILL shows up (after restarting and everything).

Hello,
This is actually documented in the packages's description:
" Some of the import and export features are provided using the packages
dia, libwmf-bin, pstoedit, skencil, imagemagick, and perlmagick.
Other extensions use ruby, libxml-xql-perl, python-numpy, and python-lxml.
You must have these packages to make full use of all extensions and effects."
Technically, the inkscape package "recommends" libwmf-bin, pstoedit, imagemagick and perlmagick, but only "suggests" dia | dia-gnome, ruby, libxml-xql-perl, python, python-numpy, python-lxml and skencil. The "suggested" packages will not be installed automatically.
I hope this explains…
Have a nice day,
