.. and did you do what the message says? build-rdeps works for me with
your sources.list, so I guess you did not.
See REQUIREMENTS in the manpage:
The tool requires apt Sources files to be around for the checked
components. In the default
case this means that in /var/lib/apt/lists files need to be around for
main, contrib and non-
free.
In practice this means one needs to add one deb-src line for each
component, e.g.
deb-src http://<mirror>/debian <dist> main contrib non-free
and run apt-get update afterwards or use the update option of this tool.
Please note that, with this sources.list, the script will spit out warnings
anyway, unless you override the list of components.
Best Regards,
Patrick
