so had in source list , found out entry causing problem:

(this 1 line of source list)

deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non free 

how can change entry working? there security problem here? appreciate tips , infos on topic.

thank in advance! :-)

i found solution this. had correct source.list line

deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non free 

to

deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free 

there "-" missing between non free. can fire aptitude update without error. if still have tips or information on topic im happy read it, source.list file kind of mysterious me.
