Thanks for bringing this up.

Yes, it's normal and harmless, but we can still improve the situation.

There are actually two separated errors in the log:

This is one, due to the plugin sk_input.inx - we can't quite fix this
unless we just remove the extension, because skconvert is not packaged
in debian.

> Extension "Win32 Vector Print" failed to load because the extension is designed for Windows only.  This is caused by an improper .inx file for this extension.  An improper .inx file could have been caused by a faulty installation of Inkscape.

This is the other, and well, here we should really just stop shipping
that extension, as it's useless in Linux :)
Probably the upstream build system should not install that extension in
!windows, I'll work out a patch with upstream.


As an aside, I know upstream has been working on a new way to ship and
share extensions, so all this may be for naught with the next major
release.


But as I mentioned, those messages are completely harmless, so you can
safely ignore these errors.
