It was the mirror having not sync'd up all the updates.

I did notice something, that might have been true before, but
just noticed now. The kernel development headers are marked
as upgrades to the previous ones so you can only have one
installed at a time.

That makes it hard to compile kernel drivers for previous
versions you may have installed if you need to revert back
to the previous version.
