If you don't have aptitude (you should have it on debian tho) you can install it with:
Code:
sudo apt-get install aptitude
If that does not fix the problem I would try disabling one by one my repos in sources.list so I find the problematic one. Then I would try and change the mirror if possible to see if this is the issue. If that doesn't help you can wait a day or two and if the issue is still there then I guess you would have to get feedback from someone more experienced. Good luck!

Rep:
The message is saying that your computer cannot reach the server specified for that repo. It can be a few things:
- you are not connected to a network. Can you ping your gateway IP address? Can you ping ftp.debian.org?
- If you are behing a proxy, have you created apt.conf file specifying your proxy info?
- there is a problem with the repo server. You can try switching to another repo server to see if you can download from it.
- Maybe a typo in your lines for the sources.list?

Rep:
Also, as I study your sources.list closer, I can see you have entries for Jessie and stable, which are not the same versions of Debian. jessie is version 8, and stable is version 9. This needs to be corrected. Do you have Debian 8 or Debian 9 installed?
Please post the output of:
Code:
# cat /etc/*release*
Edit:
It sounds like you probably have Jessie. But when Debian Stretch became "stable" and Debian Jessie became "oldstable" you started having issues with that mismatch. This is why i don't use stable in my sources.list and instead the name, wheezy, jesse, etc...
