[rt-users] Trouble upgrading to 3.8.1

[Kenneth Crocker]

Joop,


	I ran /tools/bin/ make fixdeps" and I got this result:

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Warning: prerequisite Devel::StackTrace 0 not found.
Writing Makefile for Class::ReturnValue
---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during ----
----    JESSE/Class-ReturnValue-0.55.tar.gz   ----
     Devel::StackTrace [requires]
Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue
of modules we are processing right now? [yes] yes

	So, I entered 'yes' and hit enter and got several interesting returns 
like this:

Running make test
   Delayed until after prerequisites
Running make install
   Delayed until after prerequisites


	followed by this:

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

	which was followed by this:

installation looks suspicious. Skipping another installation attempt, to 
prevent looping endlessly.


	and then lastly by this:

	I answered again with yes and got this:

	It looks like I have reached the end and I don't want to continue to 
say yes and get the same result. Any ideas?
