Hey people,

a little bit more than two years ago I built a catalyst-based stage4 for a server cluster and have been able to manage everything and upgrade everything in an very automated way and very organized way, thanks to Catalyst (and cfengine). Every time I want to upgrade my system I just create another stage4 based of the last one, but with a newer snapshot, get the binary packages from the cache and upgrade my cluster with them. Even kernel upgrades goes nicely with the right scripts.

A lot have changed since July 2008 in Gentoo, some of the changes made it difficult to maintain the upgrade cycle of my old stage4 and I had to start over, make a new stage4 and reinstall everything. It is good to have a fresh start anyway.

My problem is that I`m not able to build a stage3 because of a problem emerging autoconf-2.65-r1.

This is useful info: http://pastebin.com/YjddiQwh
And this is the build log: http://pastebin.com/Em8fyRyT
This is my stage 1, 2 and 3 files: http://pastebin.com/bkcuGaP7

Tie/Hash.pm is available on my old Perl 5.8.8 installation but it doesn't appear to be on Perl 5.12.2. So, when building a new stage3 Perl 5.8.8 is not getting there and I think this is the cause of the problem. I think it is very easy to reproduce the problem.

The stage1 build failed as well, but when I did a catalyst -a -f stage1.spec after the failure, the build finished correctly, so I didn`t want to search for the root cause.

Thank you very much for any help.

Best regards,
Daniel Colchete
