How do I install bluetooth for bose color soundlink


I have debian wheezy.
Code:
$ uname -a
Linux XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have purchased a nexttech bluetooth usb micro adapter
I am trying to pair a bose color soundlink
Code:
lsusb |grep Bluetooth
Bus 008 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
I tried installing gnome-bluetooth
Code:
~$ aptitude install gnome-bluetooth
[ ERR] Reading package lists
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/debian.savoirfairelinux.net_debian_dists_wheezy-updates_non-free_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
I don't know where to go from here.

I have a problem with my Software index.
Code:
Software index is broken
This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with Synaptic Package Manager, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.
Code:
s# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7 _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20140209-16:42]/ wheezy main

Here are a few interesting lines:

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.

Code:
# apt-get autoremove

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libsvga1
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 164 not upgraded.
After this operation, 594 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
(Reading database ... 219787 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing libsvga1:amd64 ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
So after this cleanup I still don't have a clear idea of what to do to pair my bluetooth device.
Any ideas?

I am lost. I don't know what to do or what direction to take.

Returned the speaker to the store. Replaced.
Now works with cell phone and windows 7.
On Debian, Bluetooth new device setup sees Bose Color Soundlink.
Searching for devices ... seems to be stuck in a loop.

Two hours later, it still hasn't finished setup, so I cancelled it.
