Hi,

The issue is that archive.apache.org isn't a mirror unlike all the other 
sites listed which makes it inconsistent with both the alias and what 
entries in bsd.sites.mk are intended for.
Since no other sites carries the legacy version you should use 
archive.apache.org directly instead of APACHE.

Best regards,
Daniel
