I had an orange triangle show up where the upstate square usually

I opened synaptic and received the following:

such a release is not available in the sources
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I do not see "stable-updates" in here, but this is a back-up file from
when the sources.list was last edited. It's still possible that it was
edited and somewhere has "stable-updates" in it.

How do I find out what is suppose to be there or how do I fix it? I
have basic knowledge of the command line so if someone would tell me
how to fix it I will attempt to do so.
Just anywhere you see "stable-updates", change it to "wheezy-updates".
If you use vim, you can just do
:%s/stable-updates/wheezy-updates/g
