It sounds like you're using a broken mirror. According to http://mirror.debian.org/status.html , it looks like they have a missing trace file (whatever that is) so there may be some problems with that mirror in general. If you look at the page above there will likely be another nearby mirror you can use instead. Just edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and replace every instance of ftp://ftp.monash.edu.au with the new mirror link. After trying a new mirror, can you let me know if hdparm is still missing?
