Somehow my Ubuntu install can't find what I believe to be very common packages....

E: Unable to locate package php5-curl
E: Unable to locate package php5-gd

I know this has something to do with my sources, however, I am not sure which source I need or which source these packages would be included in.

These are the commands I ran

sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo apt-get install php5-gd

Here's the content of /etc/apt/sources.list:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release amd64 (20111012)]/ dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 11.10 _Oneiric Ocelot_ - Release amd64 (20111012)]/ oneiric main restricted

You seem to have removed all your software sources. To re-add them, launch the Software Center, then go to Edit -> Software Sources in the menu, and then check all the boxes under the Ubuntu Software tab:

Then click close, and the system will ask for your password and then generate a new source file for you. You probably won't need the Source code box checked:
