Reported Jun 10, at which time 2.1.2-3mdk was not available on any of the
mirrors that I check (both rpmfind and proxad.net). The problem therefore
seems to be in the mirroring: both rpmfind and proxad are (AFAIR) primary
mirrors and so I usually treat them as being definitive; if a package is
not present then I assume it doesn't exist.
