It's a 404 message. Try a repository that does have it. The CMU
repository has a copy but the one you picked does not seem to have one
at the moment. Maybe there was a run on the British bit and the bit
banks are a wee short?

Runs are by definition in the order of TeraBits. Bits are peanuts and freely
available.

"Further" (well, maybe the reason for the whole thread):
Matrix has recently been upgraded, so the above URL indeed
should no longer exist, but rather the one where you replace
"-21" by
"-22"

Which was not on that repository, either, at the time the uestion was
posed. I did look. I assumed that Emma Would be able to find the -22
version on the CMU server. It was the only Matrix package that was
there.
