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...
It appears only two of several are not responding, and those may not be valid.
The question about your version is critical, as you will want ONLY the source entries for your running version.
There are automated tools to obtain a new mirror list and the closest/fastest resources, but you will still need to know what version to pull.
The Debian Mozilla team provides various versions of some Mozilla related packages for use on different Debian systems. The following wizard helps you to find the packages suitable for your system. WARNING: Iceweasel is gone. Please update your apt sources.
WARNING: Jessie and Stretch backports of Firefox release and beta are gone because of the requirement of rust to build them, which is not available in Jessie or Stretch. Please update your apt sources to use Firefox ESR instead.
WARNING: Aurora doesn't exist anymore.

Rep:
Ok. Yes so you also have duplicate entries. Your sources list needs to be cleaned up. Do you have a need for downloading the source stuff? If not, you can have everything condensed into 4 lines like this:
Code:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
# Backports
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free
also i have one question: what should i do most that my system keep always updated? what commands or methods u advice me sir? Thanks for help and yout time and sorry for disturbing u.
