You might want to try and generate a sources.list using the tool at 
[1].  You'll need to move your original sources.list out of the way [2] 
and copy the file produced by the source-o-matic to /etc/apt in place of 
it (you can do this in Konqueror) then [3].


[1]<http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/>

In Konsole:

[2] sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list sources.list.old

[3] sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list
