I am not in fact running wheezy. I got confused, it is Jesse. 

/etc/apt/sources.list:
# Debian packages for stable
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib
# Uncomment the deb-src line if you want 'apt-get source'
# to work with most packages.
# deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib

# Security updates for stable
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib

# Added October 1, to install newer Zotero
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main
