They should be "downloaded from the mirrors", though in this case the files
of those names correspond to sources.list lines of

  deb file:///opt/ deb-repo/

and 

  deb-src file:///opt/ repo/

Do you have valid Packages/Sources files in whatever mirror is mounted at
this location(s) on your system?

Seems unlikely to me, FWIW.
