Q) Where do I get jessie packages?
Jessie is an archived release, receiving no further updates. Upgrading to the current stable release is recommended where possible. Use the following sources for jessie:
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie main

If you need backports, first be warned that these are archived and no longer being updated; they may have security bugs or other major issues. They are not supported in any way.

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main
The jessie-backports Release file's validation key is also expired, and will not be renewed or replaced. You will need to tell apt to disregard this expired key. One way to do that is to put
Acquire::Check-Valid-Until false;

in the /etc/apt/apt.conf file.
