Pool is the directory where the actual files sit, the unstable/main etc.. directories just hold the packages file that points to /pool. tripwire should be in the non-US main lot of unstable, so you should be able to just apt-get it, but perhaps your mirror is having problems with that, otherwise just grab it from http://non-us.debian.org/pool/non-US/main/t/tripwire/tripwire_2.3.1.2-6.1_i386.deb and install it manually.
