This evening I went to perform an update and encountered a similar 
problem but due to the GCC 2.6.2 dependency libraries.  The package 
URL for the GCC 2.6.2 dependency libraries has apparently changed even 
though the libraries otherwise seem to be the same.  Perhaps LLVM 
depends on similar libraries but which use a somewhat different 
package URL.  GCC 2.6.2 does not show that it has been updated.

In my case, an available update to already installed LLVM triggered 
this problem and after deselecting to update LLVM, I was able to 
install other packages.

It may be that uninstalling GCC 2.6.2 and the libraries it depends on 
(MPFR, etc.) and then re-installing GCC 2.6.2 might solve this problem 
for me.  Or I might find that it is impossible to install GCC 2.6.2 
and latest LLVM at the same time because they have conflicting 
dependencies.
