apt-get install gitosis --fix-missing on my Linode still leads to a 404

(Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gitosis/gitosis_0.2+20080825-2_all.deb  404 Not Found [IP: 130.89.148.12 80]
)

. The correct file location seems to be http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gitosis/gitosis_0.2+20090917-11_all.deb

Is there any way I can install this without apt-get, or point apt-get in the right direction somehow?

Several other packages on my Debian Linode also point to 404, both from command line and virtualmin.

EDIT: Machine details Debian 5.0 64bit (Latest 2.6 (2.6.39.1-x86_64-linode19))

Hi I'm quite new to Linux, but before using it I was hearing that Windows programs, after uninstallation, leaves a lot of remains on the hard disc, and Linux removes all. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

I know about pinning packages with APT; that's not what I want to do. Other questions have been answered with either using pinning or by using pins temporarily. I don't want to do this... What I want to do is keep packages back the same way the kernel has been: # apt-get upgrade Reading package… >>> More
