Umm... use -V (--verbose)... ;]

It isn't catalyst's job to fix breakages.  In fact, we highly recommend
against *touching* any of the catalyst caches.  Using them to *look* is
one thing, touching is a definite no-no.  You don't need to chroot to
look.  This isn't something I would likely implement, mostly because I
know how to use "chroot" and secondly because of the above stated
reason.

Also, don't email me directly regarding catalyst.  This list is the best
place to discuss catalyst as well as get help.  I prefer all
catalyst-related mails go here so they're archived and also so we can
foster some discussion, rather than keep things in private.
