Repro steps: 1) Install catalyst (emerge "=dev-util/catalyst-2.0_rc40" with USE="ccache cdr") 2) sync portage tree (emerge --sync) 3) Create portage snapshot (catalyst2 -s 2006.0) 4) Copy stage tarball (mkdir /var/tmp/catalyst2/builds && cp stage3-x86-2006.0.tar.bz2 /var/tmp/catalyst2/builds) 5) Attempt to do fetchonly build (catalyst2 -F -f livecd_gentoo_wiki_howto-stage1.spec) Result: !!!

I noticed that the real bug is with the stage tarball already including pam-login. Then castalyst tries to update everything installed and craps out. So not really a catalyst issue.
