I think attaching that is considered to be more appropriate, as we
don't know whether nopaste.info will be available for as long as the mail
archives.

I don't really understand the problem, as the multiple package instances
seem to have the same version. But maybe it helps to add --tree to the
options, this shows which stuff gets pulled in why.
And maybe adding --update --deep may sort things out. I also had success
sometimes with doing what the output says, adding --backtrack=30.
