Hi all. I was trying to install a package from pip (mitmproxy) to upgrade the current version from 0.8 to 0.9.2. Kali did not have pip installed by default so I successfully installed it, but when I went to install the upgraded mitmproxy package, it failed do to python.h not being present. I tracked this down to being included in the python-dev package in the repo so I apt-get install python-dev, and it proceeded to install all necessary packages and then at the end on the python-dev package returned a 404 error file not found.

I have tried running the update command, and I am in the process of running the upgrade command (although I doubt it will fix this).

Any idea how to fix this? Do I have to add a outside third party repo to install from since the package is missing from the kali repos?

Fixed, I simply used another mirror from the http://http.kali.org/README.mirrorlist list, specifically the edu domain.

I don't know why it's missing from the standard mirror though... might want to look into that.
