+There is no llvm-2.9-1.mga2 in the mirrors, so your metadata is probably
+out-of-date. llvm-2.9-2.mga2 doesn't provide libLLVM-2.9.so anymore, so

+
+Mesa DRI drivers have always been built against LLVM. However, I made a
+change in the llvm package that causes software linking against it to be
+linked dynamically instead of statically, causing packages built against
+llvm (including mesa) to be considerably smaller, but require
+lib64llvm2.9.
+(the net result is much smaller packages even while taking account the
+added lib64llvm2.9)
