We see it too. My assumption is that it has to do with slow mirror sync 
somehow. It seems a bunch of mirrors typically sit on a old or new version 
that does not work with the local data (previously pulled from another 
mirror). My typical fix is to ignore it (either it finds a mirror eventually 
that's compatible or I try again later...).
