[SOLVED] Not configuring a mirror for debian broke my installation

EDIT: original title was "bl-welcome script broke my fresh install?" as I noticed the problem with it.

Would you like to install Java Support? [y/N] y

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bunsen-meta-java : Depends: openjdk-7-jre but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: icedtea-7-plugin but it is not installable
 
  There were problems installing bunsen-meta-java
 
  Press "d" for details (q to quit)

Just went with default options, only I've enabled deb-multimedia.

Problem persits after commenting out deb-multimedia line at /etc/apt/sources.list

Any Ideas?
Can't install any app right now

Package audacious is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'audacious' has no installation candidate

And my sources.list right now:

Re: [SOLVED] Not configuring a mirror for debian broke my installation

Please post the output of:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list{.d/*}
apt-cache policy

Does this fix it:

sudo apt-get install -f

EDIT: You have no main sources line -- did you select a mirror during the installation?

Add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free

Then run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install -f
bl-welcome

Hmmm.. that was it! I got tired of waiting for my nearest mirror (I'm from Argentina) to get responsive. Got some error also about taking ages to retrieve packages... So I canceled it and went back to the screen where I got asked to configure a mirror and answered "NO" to configure any mirror.

Thanks a lot, SOLVED.
