can't install xpdf-i



I am trying to install xpdf-i from unstable but apt isn't letting me:

 @phoenix:[/root] apt-get install xpdf-i
 Reading Package Lists... Done
 Building Dependency Tree... Done
 Package xpdf-i has no available version, but exists in the database.
 This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and 
 never uploaded, or that it is an obsolete package.
 However the following packages replace it:
   xpdf 
 E: Package xpdf-i has no installation candidate
 Exit 100

I then decided to try the version from stable by commenting out the
unstable lines from my /etc/apt/sources.list and then rerunning:

  apt-get update

but I got the exact same error message. All dependencies are ok for
unstable (and hence stable).

I ended up downloading the .deb myself and installing it using dpkg. But I
still can't figure out why apt wouldn't install it.

Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:

 deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/
 deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
 deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
 deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
 deb http://security.debian.org/ stable updates
 deb http://www.netgod.net/ x/

I then changed the non-us line to the unstable area but it still didn't work:

 deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/
 deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
 deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
 deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US
 deb http://security.debian.org/ stable updates
 deb http://www.netgod.net/ x/

This was the last error message: 

@phoenix:[/root] apt-get update

Err http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US Packages

  - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files

running a second time didn't help.

Any ideas why this might be happening ? Is my /etc/apt/sources.list correct 
?

Thanks.
