I just had a catastrophic crash which necessitated reinstalling Debian. I had been running v-7.2,but decided to upgrade to v-7.10 with a complete install.
Now when I update the repositories, regardless of the tool, Synaptic or Aptitude, I get the following errors:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache
Your deb-src lines should read as follows:
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/main/source/Sources
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/contrib/source/Sources
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/non-free/source/Sources
Note that you have .../dists/wheezy/updates/... in your sources.list file instead of the correct .../dists/wheezy-updates/...
I do not get these errors if I comment out the deb-src lines in the sources.list.
Now, I know that it has to be a problem with the new install as I have installed v-7.10 in a VMware Workstation 12 Player on my laptop as a test bed and do not get any errors.
I would greatly appreciate help resolving this issue,.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion.
The new error message is a malformation at the first line f the suggested solution.
There are several additional points to be made:
1. I get the same error when the repository is “devbain.uchicago.edu’
And, most importantly,
2. The errors arise from sources.list entries made by the Debian installer, not by my editing the file.
I am, however, most appreciative of the support that I am receiving from the members of the mailing list.
