I usually select show all when I search.  Sometimes, as you point out,
the fix is done but may not have hit the tree and all the mirrors.  At
one time I had a mirror that was not updated as often for some reason. 
Eventually, it stopped working and I had to switch. 

I mostly posted just in case someone else ran into this and was trying
to find a solution.  I spent a few hours trying all my other tricks. 
None of them worked. 

Good to know what the cause was tho.  After a few days, it shouldn't be
a problem for anyone else.  All the mirrors should be up to date.  It
was a head scratcher for me tho.
