Aehm, it is *your* file plugin.mp that asks for mp-tool, not mpost.
You can perfectly work with mpost without mp-tool.

It is up to you to install texlive-context if you need mp-tool.

Please someone close this bug.

Best wishes

The crowd were tense. They were expecting something
wonderful from Ford.

`Which is precisely the sort of thing we need to know,'
insisted the girl, `Do people want fire that can be fitted
nasally?'
