Linux – Sample /etc/apt/sources.list for Linux Mint 17

aptlinux-mintpackage-management

It seems my /etc/apt/sources.list file only has

deb cdrom:[Linux Mint 17 Qiana – Release amd64 20140624]/ trusty contrib main non-free

It might have got corrupted when I was trying to download pdfedit. When I try to download some software now it says:

This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.

From my own system, a Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list contains this:

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com rebecca main upstream import 
deb http://extra.linuxmint.com rebecca main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ trusty partner

My /etc/apt/sources.list is empty.
