May I ask that you reveal another config variable, `trust_test_report_history`? The line you quote above ("Warning: prerequisite Test::Fatal 0 not found.") usually comes from MakeMaker. CPAN.pm should neither see it nor write it (please correct me if I'm wrong). When CPAN.pm tells something about a prereq it should look like ---- BEROV/DBIx-Simple-Class-1.009.tar.gz ---- DBD::SQLite [build_requires] DBIx::Simple [requires] At least with current CPAN.pm. Look, here is the pass report of this smoker for Test-Fatal-0.14: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/16d71e5e-1039-11e6-8057-de3b705340c6 It was a success. So if the configuration sets trust_test_report_history to true, it would not try to build Test-Fatal again. That would probably explain the whole issue. Otherwise, we will have to reiterate again other options... -- andreas
