Looks like you only have "security" and "backports" - no main or
universe / multiverse in your sources.list

Try for example from

http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047

for a Breezy list (pasted below)

Add backports lines etc as needed ( personally I only enable things like
that for individual packages and comment them out afterwards)
