This might be a problem. ascii is testing/stretch, but probably not.
However, don't use that if you want stable/wheezy.

I think it is the debian jessie repos, remove these:
deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ jessie main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ jessie-updates main

apt-get -s install network-manager gave
network-manager : Depends: libpam-systemd but it is not going to be
installed
