Failure trying to add ppa

I wanted to try the Unity Desktop Pastie Indicator on Ubuntu 12.04.

I did sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hel-sheep/pastie.

It seemed to complete ok.

You are about to add the following PPA to your system:

  More info: https://launchpad.net/~hel-sheep/+archive/pastie
Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it

gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpJ0XyNg/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpJ0XyNg/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: requesting key DE4CA452 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: /tmp/tmpJ0XyNg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key DE4CA452: public key "Launchpad fmoc" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
OK

Then I did sudo apt-get update. It failed with this message at the end:

W: Failed to fetch 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/hel-sheep/pastie/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources 
  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch

  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old 
ones used instead.

I've never had a failure installing a ppa before.  What is the proper 
way to clean it up?

Thanks,  Jim
