Sorry not to have any useful insights but I have over the past week or
so been noticing exactly the same behaviour on occasion. My apt-get
sources.list points to ftp.debian.org (amongst others) unstable.
Quite a few times I've "apt-get update". I then check to see which
packages have been upgraded wrt my installation, then go to install
them with apt-get install and the deb files are not there. Checking
the actual ftp archive and sure enough they are not there. If I come
back some hours later and try the install again, it's okay. Seems
like a lag somehow between the available packages list and the actual
packages appearing.

Graham
