"Not found" again. You should now begin to wonder what it is you are
doing wrong. You could also question whether a Debian archive would be
structured to have "/main/non-free" and "main/contrib" components. The
"main" part of the archive contains only free software.

Knowing what was in your sources.list would save having to guess what
you have done incorrectly.
