command "apt-get update". A script file of that command's output is

Is there a way to rebuild
the database files and get clean run from "apt-get update"? A sample
sources.list file would
be greatly appreciated.
There is a clear error here:

This bug in apt is actualy so common that googling for it gives you
tons of help. Try it.

Goswin,
Thank you for your kind reply. I recognized the MMAP error as one I
had seen before, but couldn't recall the correction, so I did Google it,
found a posted solution, tried it, but it failed.
The increased value I used was insufficient. Tried a much larger value,
and it worked. Last
night, "apt-get update" was running without error, after I changed my
"sources.list" file to
the one attached here. I did not upgrade, however, because I was
getting a large list of reported
bugs for most of the packages that were going to upgrade - many included
'failure to install'
type bug reports. So I held off.
This morning, however, I am now getting what I hope are temporary
errors regarding
sources for 'source files'. I will watch and see if they clear.
Thanks again for your reply.
Regards,
Russ
