Your probleme looks like you have not downloaded updates yet.<br> So type sudo apt-get update (1)<br> and after that: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (2)<br> it weel enable all your source packages in /etc/apt/source.list file.<br> From this moment you will be able to download all you want and even "git" :)</font><br> </body> </html>
