Backports should be enabled on that server(adhoc), it shouldn't be a big
issue to install from there. Though we might want to check if anyone
else on adhoc is using sphinx before upgrading it.

I noticed it back when we built the last DVD, and think it's just a
change in sphinx and we should just go with the newer version.
