The use of packages and extra repositories makes it very difficult to
really pinpoint the exact error but the errors you posted pointed more
to Net::DNS than anything else. I'm glad it appears you've fixed the
issue with an upgraded version.

I personally like to use package-based systems to get a base OS and then
install the core items that define the purpose of the machine either
from source or from custom spec files. It doesn't scale well but it's
good for very specific control of versioning and interoperability.
