If you follow the links referenced and go up to the "dists" directory, you'll see that there is no "xenial" directory underneath. This means that the maintainers of these PPA repositories don't have versions of these softwares for Ubuntu 16.04 yet.
What you do from here depends on you. If you need these softwares to work right, you might want to consider not upgrading until the maintainers provide versions for 16.04. You can also research if anyone has been able to use the packages for 14.04 on 16.04, but I doubt it because of the switch to systemd.
P.S. You might also want to see if these packages are now included in the main repositories for 16.04.
