You're stuck in this weird hole that we haven't figured a particularly good
way out of, which came up because multi-variant (sparc + x86) packages were
introduced halfway between releases.

Your system wants to update all the packages from the extra repo, but
they're not constrained in any way, so tries to bring them up to build 111
(where they exist in their fat form), but those won't install, because
their dependency analysis has been done against build 111, and so have
dependencies against build 111 packages.

Perhaps we can publish an incorporation to the support repo that will
constrain the extra packages.  Until the SAT solver is available, I'm not
sure there's a better way.
