I think this is because the Packages file is not updated on your FTP mirror. This would be fixed, but the Internic and UUNET gave our master system's IP number to someone else two days ago, and thus the mirror can't get to the master system. The operators of the master system have renumbered their entire network to deal with this (not a small task for an Internet provider) and are waiting for the routers in the rest of the Internet to catch up with the change. Meanwhile we are all sitting on our hands unable to touch the master copy of the release and we're cursing at UUNET and Internic.
