    brew install pandoc

This is a strange one. ibt does not have a dependency on Pandoc. This looks a little bit like https://github.com/enigmampc/catalyst/issues/263.

[rcook]

This is certainly a strange regression since ibt 0.1 installs just fine.

[rcook]

A-ha. I think it's because README.md is missing from the package.

[rcook]

I've published ibt-0.3 which includes this fix.
