Never mind, I've ruled that out. I started a new VM, installed the 14.04.2 
Desktop distro, did an apt-get update + dist-upgrade, and tried to install 
these two packages and got the same error. So it is definitely isolated to 
their repositories, as you suggested.

Anybody know the proper mailing list or chat room to report a problem with the 
Ubuntu repositories?
