That's true, the master site has lost its base dir, and the mirror
removed it, too:

http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc4/

That file also does not exist, but the*.bz2 variant does. So this is
the same error like the very first one. It failed to do something with
the *.bz2 file and failed over to try the non-bz2 one (which does not
exist).

The bz2 one is sane, though:

$ wget http://kde-redhat.atrpms.net/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/4/i386/base/pkglist.stable.bz2
--15:38:14--  http://kde-redhat.atrpms.net/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/4/i386/base/pkglist.stable.bz2
           => `pkglist.stable.bz2'

Perhaps your network connection went down while downloading? Please
retry (perhaps wiping the /var/state/apt/ bits before that).
