Comment out (or delete) the above entry. It is the original Wheezy
install CD. You don't need it if you're upgrading to testing.

Also, if your intent is to upgrade to testing/Jessie, enter "jessie"
instead of "testing" in those sources lists; otherwise, when Jessie
becomes Stable, you will continue upgrading with the NEW testing
release.
Some doing this, so they have the more current release files like a
Rolling Release without having to use backports.
