I have checked the output from that link and it's getting a lot of
"Can't locate Bio/DB/SeqFeature/Store.pm in @INC (you may need to
install the Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store module)" and another for
Bio::DB::GFF.

These module used to be part of the BioPerl distribution but has been
moved out to their own distribution, both of which have already been
released.

Their distributions are:

  Bio-DB-SeqFeature [1,2]
  Bio-DB-GFF [3,4]
