The mirrors have been in sad shape lately. I restarted updates as of Monday, and have not done any new installs yet based on that source tree. (although the updates happen to my build machine as part of the build process). Are you actually installing from the mirror or downloading the tree and installing from there? Installing directly from the mirror will always be difficult as I'm updating daily, and deplist and hdlist are not being regenerated. This step you need to do locally from your downloaded tree.
