When I open Synaptic Package Manager.
Tried adding the lines from the sticky post, and also tried just uncommenting the backport sections that were already in the file, but get the sime kind of erroy with each, so I've returned the file to how it was until I figure out what's going on.

You will need to close synaptic too, before you do the above command or it will give you a lock file error.

Hitting Reload from within Synaptic a second time, also works and is even easier.
