I'm still away, looks like I'm stuck here until wednesday. It is unlikely 
due to the depends stuff, that was limited to casting spells, not 
fixing... unless someone modified the fix stuff to use it. It will check 
each spell up to 4 times (IIRC) in a row, one time for each kind of check, 
md5, symlinks, ... can't think of the other checks ATM.

Could you check your /var/state/sorcery/packages file and see if there are 
any duplicate spells in there? I've seen some systems with up to 4 of each 
spell, and I'm not sure how that would manifest in a fix.
