For the benefit of anyone who also ran into this problem:
I just had to update Moose from a pre-1.0 version to 1.21 and then got lots of error messages from Catalyst when starting the fcgi servers. The crucial error message being:

The old Moose::Util::MetaRole API (before version 0.94) has been deprecated

If you just try to update Catalyst::Devel and Catalyst::Runtine you will get lots of the above messages and the install will fail.
Turns out that you have to (or at least I did) update a few modules "manually" before you can successfully update Catalyst. Here is the list of moduels I updated in the end:

Then I was finally able to update Catalyst::Devel and Catalyst::Runtime without errors.
Hope this will help others too.
