This is a major failure of your software management system. Check the
file
permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and
reload
the software information: 'sudo apt-get update'.
That file belongs to root. Should it?
As for the correctness .... Well, I went into it as root with nano -w (the
same way I had put stuff in); deleted a bunch of things; uncommented some
others; and then commanded sudo apt-get update, as the error message had
said.
This time it ran a little while, but ended up with :

So I went in again, and commented out the backports lines. This time I got :

If I'm reading that right, it finished -- but didn't do anything. Nor did
it give me any message saying nothing needed doing ...
So am I ready to try to upgrade??
