At first we've not noticed this problem because it's not in the
ISO's and many people use the ISO's. Apparently it's was a mess
when trying to disable the contrib use during install for the
9.0. Warly have fixed this on the primary mirror this morning, it
should propagate shortly. In the meantime, if you use a local
mirror, you may edit the "hdlists" file and remove the hdlist2
line.

The problem is that the "depslist" computation is tied to the
number and contents of the hdlists..
