Which older package versions are you concerned with?  Much of the bulk of the ones in r151014 are from whole-ON updates (usually when the world needs to spin for a kernel update).

I'm trying to debug it now.  Basically, the r151014 repo has 8k packages (many old) and something about our pkg.depotd breaks down when it gets that high. (It's CPU-dependent for sure.)
