Hi there, While I was configuring some thing in the sources.list file as apt-get couldn't get any package I wanted or asked for (I double checked the spelling for each package) and it just said package not found ... any way, The problem is that the sources.list file was accidentally deleted and I can't find any version of it online and ofcourse the apt-get is no longer working at all

You can search for packages here:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
> any way, The problem is that the sources.list file was accidentally deleted
It's useful to make copies of original configuration files before
editing them:
# cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list-orig
# vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Better yet is putting them into a version control system.

Somebody already posted a Jessie file. Here's my Wheezy file:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.8.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 xfce-CD

The former gets you to the latter.

I only use jessie and jessie-updates at the moment.

Users will come across httpredir.debian.org in the documentation so it was an attempt to head off any confusion which might have arisen in this thread over the use of two different URIs for the same resource. I think the redirector developer has committed to both working.

Unless Debian has dropped any pretence of contrib and non-free being unofficial. I don't recommend non-free software to anyone as a matter of principle.

Unless Debian has dropped > any pretence of contrib and non-free being unofficial. Whatever. To have a fully functioning system you need contrib and non-free in your sources.list, sure, you could go out of your way and buy hardware which doesn't need any firmware, but guess what, those people don't tend to post to this list asking for help. > I don't recommend non-free software to anyone as a matter of principle. Sure, but when their computer stops working because of an update and the installed firmware blob is no longer working, they'll complain to this list --- and guess what the posted solution will be? I'm certain it will be "oh, you're missing contrib and non-free in your sources.list" It appears there was some talk about refining the sources.list, but it's not so straight forward: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/01/msg00233.html -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X
