I've seen this problem a lot lately -- some package has been archived at
site X for years, and everybody *knows* it can be found there, then for
some reason the maintainer moves it or stops forwarding updates or
whatever, and somehow the word never gets out.  (Witness the note from the
Metalab archivist.  A *lot* of packages just stopped being sent up to
Metalab, apparently without a word of explanation.)

Please, if you're going to switch primary sites, or de-mirror a site, ask
the site maintainers to clean out the old package and replace it with a
pointer to the new list of canonical sites.
