Well, ok. Glad its working now, but that means that the those lines I 
listed were missing rather than being commented out in your 
sources.list. The deb-src lines allows apt to get the package lists for 
the source packages the binary deb packages were built from. If you have 
no need to examine the source code of packages and download them via 
apt-get, then it's no big deal to not have them in your sources.list. 
However, if you change you mind later, you'll need the deb-src lines 
added back.

I'm afraid I don't know as to why they went missing in the first place, 
though.
