In this case it's because your package depends on various perl-Catalyst 
packages, which are in turn not buildable because one of their 
dependencies is incompatible with Perl 5.18.

Many of these packages have now got blocks/depends on data included in 
their FTBFS bugzilla tickets, which make it easier to track why 
particular packages aren't built, and provide notifications when an 
underlying dependency has been fixed.
