Error while trying to install some programs to wheezy with apt

[Fritz Chwolka]

Hi...

as the console isn't my part I installed some other programms and  xfce.

Now as Wheezy is an old distry debian put it into the http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/  and

with it I cant install or get updates anymore.

Question:  what have I change in the apt.conf files(s) to get it work ?  ( I'm not a linux guru)

I just fixed that for my image (not yet online). Attached is what I went
