/etc/apt/sources.list exists only in distributions using the APT package management system, usually Debian (and derivatives) and Ubuntu (and derivatives)
Which distribution do you have installed in your VM?

open terminal. Type in

Code:
cd /etc/apt
hit return/enter key. Then type in

Code:
ls
Hit enter/return key

post back what "ls" showed in code tags.

I typed
Code:
cd /etc/apt
then I typed:
Code:
ls
The result is as follows:
Code:
apt.conf.d soureces.list sources.list.d trusted.gpg trusted.gpg.d
preferences.d sources.list~ trustdb.gpg trusted.gpg~

Copy the backup file:
Code:
cd /etc/apt
sudo cp sources.list~ sources.list
EDIT: Or rename the "soureces.list"

what is 01-31-2015 01:43 PM
I typed:
Code:

cd /etc/apt
sudo cp sources.list~ sources.list
The result:No error

What is the next step?

thanks.

Code:
sudo apt-get update
This should refresh your package database -- it there are any errors, post them here.

@yancek is quite correct -- change to a newer version, you shouldn't be using that one.

Also, apt changed slightly so that multiple source lists are possible, and these lists are stored in /etc/apt/sources.lists.d/
