you have put a space between deb-src (or maybe not you, could be a bug.) for the last few entrys there. just make the deb -src lines read deb-src or just replace it with this:

Thank you much. I should have see that myself but, I'm in my 1st week of using Linux and can't see the forest for the trees. I probably did that when I was adding Wine.
Again, thanks for your help, Gord.
