Catalyst 2.0 weirdness

Hello all,

I was trying to build a livecd-stage2 target with Catalyst
2.0 and had 
some 'interesting' problems. When doing a

$ catalyst -f stage2.spec

on my stage2.spec I got the following error:

[Some of the standard Catalyst output removed]
Emptying directory 
/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/.autoresume-livecd-stage2-x86-
CURRENT/
Emptying directory
/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage2-x86-CURRENT/
Catalyst aborting....
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/catalyst", line 380, in ?

   File "/usr/bin/catalyst", line 198, in

ot;, line 116,

     print display_msg
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'display_msg' referenced

Looking at the code in livecd_stage2_target.py it seems that
the code 
simply assumes that the display_msg variable gets set even
though it 
doesn't when
os.path.isdir(self.settings["source_path"]) ==
False.

I added a print statement for
self.settings["source_path"] and that prints

	/var/tmp/catalyst/builds/stage3-x86-2006.0.tar.bz2

which seems rather strange to me. The (hopefully) relevant
portion of my 
stage2.spec file is as follows:

   subarch: x86
   version_stamp: CURRENT
   target: livecd-stage2
   rel_type: default
   profile: default-linux/x86/2006.0
   snapshot: 20060821
   source_subpath: stage3-x86-2006.0

The only thing resembling the file name above is the
source_subpath 
setting, but I'm not sure why that would get turned into a
.tar.bz2 file 
name by catalyst when catalyst itself clearly expects a
directory name.

Anyone have any clues to impart?

Cheers,

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by
at
least one instruction -- from which, by induction, one can
deduce
that every program can be reduced to one instruction which
doesn't work.
