I just had a catastrophic crash which necessitated reinstalling Debian.  I had been running v-7.2,but decided to upgrade to v-7.10 with a complete install.

Now when I update the repositories, regardless of the tool, Synaptic or Aptitude, I get the following errors:

W: Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/updates/main/source/Sources: 404  Not Found [IP: 2610:148:1f10:3::89 80]

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache

Your deb-src lines should read as follows:

deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/main/source/Sources
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/contrib/source/Sources
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/non-free/source/Sources

Note that you have .../dists/wheezy/updates/... in your sources.list file instead of the correct .../dists/wheezy-updates/...



I do not get these errors if I comment out the deb-src lines in the sources.list.

Now, I know that it has to be a problem with the new install as I have installed v-7.10 in a VMware Workstation 12 Player on my laptop as a test bed and do not get any errors.

I would greatly appreciate help resolving this issue,.

Thanks in  advance.

Thanks for the suggestion.
 
The new error message is a malformation at the first line f the suggested solution.
 
There are several additional points to be made:
 
1.        I get the same error when the repository is “devbain.uchicago.edu’
And, most  importantly,
 
2.       The errors arise from sources.list entries made by the Debian installer, not by my editing the file.
 
I am, however, most appreciative of the support that I am receiving from the members of the mailing list.

Still don’t know why the problem, but a field expedient has made the problem redundant.
 
I am running the same version of Debian n my laptop in a VM as a test bed.  There is no problem with the sources. List on that computer.  I ported the file over to the computer with the problem is gone.
 
Many thanks to the members of the list who responded to my cry in the wilderness.
