Can't access Announcements tab in user preferences

[anonymous]

When I try to access the Announcements tab in the user's preferences, I get:

Oops…
Trac detected an internal error:

TemplateNotFound: Template "prefs_announcer.html" not found

I just got the current AnnouncerPlugin. I am trying this on Tracs 0.12 (I need the multi repository support it has). Maybe that is it? Or, maybe there is something wrong with my install of AnnouncerPlugin. I would like to exhaust that possibility before deciding it is a Tracs version issue.

I installed it with:

python setup.py install

and got this during the install.

Does it make any difference what directory the download is in when it gets installed?

I have updated my tracs.ini as described in the AnnouncerPlugin docs. I restarted the web browser and server, just to be sure.

The .egg file contains:

The interesting thing is that announcerplugin/templates/index.html contains a reference to "prefs_announcer.html"

Help!

All the files weren't copied to the egg. This has been fixed apparently.
