Note that ​http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.6/chapter03/introduction.html states: 

Download locations may not always be accessible. If a download location has changed since this book was published, Google (http://www.google.com/) provides a useful search engine for most packages. If this search is unsuccessful, try one of the alternative means of downloading discussed at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/packages.html#packages.

As such, there's no need to add an errata entry for this.
