It looks like this is an old mirror/snapshot of the old fedora.us repo 
that is no longer being updated. None of these packages have been updated 
since March, it appears. fedora.us has posted an announcement saying 
they've removed their apt repositories, and point to freshrpms for the 
extras: 
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/3/i386/

Not sure if those are up to date.
