heres what your list should look like (i see a few mistakes in yours)
# Ubuntu supported packages (packages, GPG key: 437D05B5)
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted

# Ubuntu supported packages (sources, GPG key: 437D05B5)
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted

# Ubuntu community supported packages (packages, GPG key: 437D05B5)
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse

# Ubuntu community supported packages (sources, GPG key: 437D05B5)
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse

you have security repo comments out and like 4 listings for backports.
there are no backports for dapper yet.
