Can't complete Kali Linux Docker installation due to 'atp update' failures

[tdlemons]

Hi

I deployed the latest Kali Linux Docker container. When I try to install the applications, I see two problems:



Using the default http protocol URL in the ?sources? file yields a ?503 service unavailable error
Using the https protocol causes a certificate verification failure


Please let me know how to resolve this Catch-22 situation!

Thanks

Not sure if you ever resolved this - but for anyone else finding this post via google, I was able to fix it simply by running


apt-get install ca-certificates as hinted at by the error.

Hi

Thanks very much for the reply. I still am interested in solving this problem, and being able to install the latest Kali Linux updates. Unfortunately, executing the command you provided wasn't successful for me. I just downloaded the latest Kali Linux Docker image.

Package ca-certificates 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 'ca-certificates' has no installation candidate
