Well, ocaml 3.09.0-4 entered testing on january 4, and ocaml 3.09.1-1 was
uploaded to unstable right after that, and built on mipsel on :

  3.09.1-1 (mipsel) (latest build at Jan 5 18:23: maybe-successful)

So unless the mipsel buildd maintainer didn't upload the packages yet, and
since ocaml and ocaml-nox where build from the same source package, and have
correct dependencies, i can only suppose that your mirror is hosed, or that
you somehow suffered a time squeeze, while the old 3.08.3 ocaml got downloaded
to your box, but the mirror had a more recent ocaml-nox. ...

Mmm, this is stable you are trying to install, ... Are you sure you don't have
some none stable apt sources or something ?
