This has been happening for a while. It is a time of day issue. It seems
that the index files are uploaded first as part of the daily update (1900
GMT), and then the .deb files. This means that the indices are pointing to
files that are not yet there. Wait an hour or two and try again.
That's my guess and it works for me.
