Make sure that your .../pkg/repo/repo.conf file uses the $(ABI) token 
rather than spelling out your OS ABI explicitly -- or else don't have 
any version related parts to your repo path at all.  Also, if your repo 
is served via a web server, check your webserver config to make sure 
your repo isn't pointed at an old set of packages.
