Check the current state of gutenbook more closely. The main archive has:
gutenbook | 0.1.10-6 | testing | source, all
gutenbook | 0.1.10-6 | unstable | source, all
... while non-US has:
gutenbook | 0.1.10-4 | testing | all, source
gutenbook | 0.1.10-4 | unstable | all, source
The attempt you see to update gutenbook from 0.1.10-4 to 0.1.10-6 is
therefore an illusion caused by it existing in both archives with
different versions at the moment. It's not actually suffering from
anything at all (although readers' sanity might be).

AIUI non-US is down because it hasn't been audited and restored since
the compromise at the end of last year, and there's little incentive to
do this auditing and restoration when the plan is to remove it entirely.
