Hi:

sudo apt-get install xz-utils fails with error message:

bob@iMac:~$ sudo apt-get install xz-utils
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
xz-utils
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.
Need to get 221 kB of archives.
After this operation, 483 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Err http://ftp.utexas.edu/debian/ jessie/main xz-utils amd64 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+b3
404 Not Found
E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.utexas.edu/debian/pool/main/x/xz-utils/xz-utils_5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+b3_amd64.deb 404 Not Found

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I've installed numerous other packages with apt-get on this Intel iMac, running jessie, without problems. Internet connection is OK. I ran apt-get upgrade and ran with --fix-missing with no change.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
