Change your 'method=XXX' line. It's probably something like:
  method=http://somehost.duh/fedora/path/9/Fedora/$arch/os
change it to:
  method=http://somehost.duh/fedora/path/9/Everything/$arch/os

*That* much will be fixed in preupgrade-0.9.4 (or later). 

Unfortunately that doesn't explain why preupgrade didn't download
aalib.i386 in the first place..
