Hmph.  Wondering if something broke recently in the buildfarm code,
I tried rm -rf'ing the whole buildroot locally ... but run_branches.pl
got through fine.

A couple of ideas:

* Run through the setup process documented at

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Buildfarm_Howto

particularly "Check that required perl modules are present" ...
maybe something went missing?

* Diff your build-farm.conf against the current sample file
and make sure there are no unintentional discrepancies.
