I recently upgraded my chromebook c710-2856's hard drive to a 250GB drive and flashed coreboot on it. I then proceeded to install debian wheezy with LXDE.
I want to install gparted, and when I do:
# apt-get install gparted
I get: E: Unable to locate package gparted
I am able to find other packages it seems, just not gparted.
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7 _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20140723-17:29]/ wheezy main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7 _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20140723-17:29]/ wheezy main
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main non-free contrib
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy contrib non-free main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main non-free contrib
I installed debian from a live USB.
How can I fix my repositories?
By the way, I have the wheezy-backports repo because it contains a package for the specific trackpad drivers I need for my chromebook.
EDIT: I managed to install gparted manually through dpkg -i gparted_(version name).deb, but I still would like to figure this out as I cannot find packages such as xbacklight.

1Just to be sure, you did do:
sudo apt-get updatebefore trying to install gparted? – Luke Livingstone – 2014-11-25T20:21:41.5231
