Did that several times.  The problem is with the out-of-date metadata
on the mirrors themselves.  Cleaning my local cache and re-downloading
the same bad metadata isn't going to help.

Downloading the package itself and updating from the local file works,
as does storing the package in a local repo and updating from that.
