I'm not clear exactly what step of the instructions on switch2osm does the download of these files, but I don't think it's actually anything to do with mod_tile itself is it? In which case this is the wrong place to report it.

If it's just the instructions on switch2osm that need updating then you should contact the authors of that site, and if it's an auxiliary script that is part of the Ubuntu mod_tile package then you should talk to Kai who creates those packages.

In any case the files have just moved slightly. The first one is at:

http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/10m/cultural/ne_10m_populated_places.zip

and I think the second one is:

http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/cultural/ne_110m_admin_0_boundary_lines_land.zip

The issue comes from the script get-coastlines.sh which is part of the mapnik stylesheets. The correct URL has been fixed in the svn repository a while ago ( openstreetmap/mapnik-stylesheets@ca84439 )

The problem you are facing is that the Ubuntu packages linked to in the swtich2osm.org haven't been repackaged in a while, so don't include the fix yet.

It is also not directly part of the mod_tile package, but the stylesheet package which gets pulled in by mod_tile as a recommended package.

This should be fixed now in the new packages.
