I considered changing it to "no external crate named", but I didn't want to be wordy. What do you think?

Suggested change
format!("no external crate `{}`", ident)
format!("no external crate named `{}`", ident)

I think that the PR's current wording is fine, but I don't feel strongly - either is an improvement.
