This happens when the mirror is not quite up-to-date.  The Packages
files that say what *should* be there have been mirrored, but the
.debs they refer to aren't there yet.

As the various mirrors are often broken in different ways, the best
plan is to have more choices...  I suggest ftp.aarnet.edu.au for a
more-or-less fast local mirror and mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au if you're
near (in network terms) UNSW.

deb ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian unstable main non-free contrib
deb ftp://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au/debian unstable contrib main non-free


You can have more than one deb line in /etc/apt/sources.list --
apt-get tries each, if the first one gives a 404 it just tries the
next.
