Hi Charles, I don't have any experience with dreamlinux per se, but it appears to be debian based or ubuntu based from what you are mentioning. Usually errors such as 404 file not found in repositories are fixed in a few days when a human error is done by misplacing a file or a file being updated but the file list not being updated thus getting an old link. Try reloading your repository list (I'm guessing you are using apt: sudo apt-get update [or reload button in synaptic]) and post a friendly message on their support forums maybe a mantainer will spot your post and fix the package.
