If I understand the situation, this means the buildd's already see
the new mlton arch all in the Packages file for the buildds.  But
you won't see in on the mirrors until the arch any package for
that arch is available.  And the arch all binary package has a
strict version requirement binary any package.

As long as the Packages file for the buildds mentions this arch
all package, no buildd can build it, because it only considers
installing the latest version.  But it should get removed
from that file after 24 or 32 hours or something.  In which case
we'll only see the old version, can install those, and things should
work from there.

So I think you either need to be patient, or have a less strict
version requirement.
