thank you , worked .
I had the same exact problem after kali rolling update...thought I broke kali...change to kde...no go...almost thought about a complete reinstall...instead I tried dpkg and it work but only on command or app that i on. Bottom line googled and google , tried a few forums ended up /etc/apt/source.list commented everything out but kali rolling , sofar so good.

I added the lines suggested by Node to /etc/apt/sources.list and I still get the same error: E: Unable to locate package gparted
This is the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
Any suggestions on how to remedy this?
Thanks in advance!
