(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
It looks like this has been fixed somewhat since this bug was reported.
It now reports:
Error retrieving: http://elpa.gnu.org/archive-contents (error http 404)
Which seems like a reasonable error message.
I don't think it would be appropriate to remove or block the URLs -- the
failure may be temporary, and it should be up to the user to remove the
archives themselves, so I'm therefore closing this bug report.
