apt-get doesn't work

[PwrdByAMD2]

Every time I try to use apt-get I receive the error message: E: Couldn't find.....
I have these sources on my /etc/apt/sources.list
#deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
#deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
#deb http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
#deb http://debian.oregonstate.edu/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
#deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
#deb http://www.apt-get.org
/dev/cdrom
I am running sarge. Here is an example of the exact error.

debian:~# apt-get install mcedit
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package mcedit
debian:~#

I don't understand why this is happening, it did not before. I'm sure you guys can help me out. Thanks

That's because you're using just /dev/cdrom for your apt sources, the others are uncommented (#), which means that they are not being used. Revert that:

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
deb http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.oregonstate.edu/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://www.apt-get.org
#/dev/cdrom

Hi,

My apt-get doesn't work anymore after I've installed Xgl. Anyone got ideas how to fix this? I get to do apt-get update or even apt-get dist-upgrade, but not apt-get install xxxxx. For example:

mago@argos:~$ sudo apt-get install kile
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package kile

Thx in advance.
