used instead.

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.

Still don’t know why the problem, but a field expedient has made the problem
redundant.
I am running the same version of Debian n my laptop in a VM as a test bed.
There is no problem with the sources. List on that computer. I ported the file
over to the computer with the problem is gone.
Many thanks to the members of the list who responded to my cry in the
wilderness.
