That line points to unstable, aka "sid". Sid is the permanent alias for
the unstable distribution, unlike the rolling aliases for testing and
stable.

Since you still have a bootable operating system, you may try the hint
at <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626450#36>.

Don't add sid to your sources.list. :) And if you do: use pinning or set
your default distribution in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90local (man apt.conf,
Default-Release).
