Hi jeret,

You are not alone! The majority of my experience with Kali so far, has been updating her. As I "newbie" I expect frustrations related to the learning curve, but when I am following official instructions to the letter, I look for results. Out of frustration, I once yelled, "This is worse than windows!" :mad::mad:

Just a few moments ago, I noticed something and hope a kind, cool and brilliant pioneer will shed some light. :cool::cool:

Regarding repositories, the official Kali documentation lists two different addresses:

http://docs.kali.org/faq
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

My question: Which is correct? Can I use both? Does it even matter?

[jeret]

hmmm .. i've tried all the repositories at the official website. Nothing works. :(

[tx@mbe]

Hello,

I have the same error when I update, and
I have seen that in http://http.kali.org/dists are the folder kali-rolling/ then then I will put the following:

deb http://http.kali.org/dists/ kali-rolling main contrib non-free

I will tell you the result

A greeting

Using putty connect to Nethunter and Run
vi /etc/passwd,

Save and Run apt-get update ,It Works Check it ,
Explanation: Changing GID 3004 to 65534 ,What is GID 3004 on your system?
The fact that the _apt user is part of "nogroup" is actually the problem.

[franco985]

HI, i can't update my kali nethunter because I receive "failed to fetch http://.... Not Found" error during updating. How can i fix it? Thanks in advance.

[pxoto]

I am having the same problem with apt-get update, tried every official repository and a combination of them, did not work.
Has anyone found the solution to this ?

[jaymayne]

I know this is an older thread, but... I was having the sort of the same issue. What I found is that I'm using Sophos UTM as my router, and for some reason it wouldn't update (haven't investigated the cause). The work around for me was to bypass the security appliance and use my basic home wifi. I'm not sure if this will help anyone, but it caused me several hours of frustration and made me a not very happy camper.

I understand from researching a tiny bit that Kali is going the rolling update route which explains why older builds source lists do not work.

However, my understanding (correct me if I am wrong) is that it is pulling these updates from the Debian Sid or "testing" repository (i.e. http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main). And that would explain why I am getting 500+ updates available when I run a weekly 'apt update' on my newer Kali build.

My question is this; Is there a valid way to still get stable updates without pulling from the rolling repo "kali-rolling" and getting all of the "testing" updates? My research came up empty.

I've noticed on my latest Kali build it isn't as stable as the non-rolling build. Openvas, the main reason I use Kali is not starting correctly anymore and wasn't even installed by default on the newer rolling build DVDs. *sigh*

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
# For source package access
# deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

copy and replace in sources.list

[IceMann]

Your /etc/sources.list should be:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
# For source package access, uncomment the following line
# deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

However if the above official source not working to you, you may use the official kali mirrors.
1) Go to this link http://http.kali.org/README.mirrorlist
2) under "mirrors which handle this country" copy any one of the link (example in my case: http://kali.cs.nctu.edu.tw/kali/README )
3) Open nano /etc/apt/sources.list and paste it at the bottom.
4) Remove "/README" from the link and make it looks like this -> "deb http://kali.cs.nctu.edu.tw/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free"
5) Comment all previous sources except the mirror that you just pasted.
6) and finally your Mirror sources.list should be like this: (Example of my kali mirror sources.list)

#Kali Linux Rolling Official Repositories
#deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

#Kali Linux Rolling Official Mirrors Repositories
deb http://kali.cs.nctu.edu.tw/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

7) Exit and write changes.
8) Run apt-get clean && apt-get update and see if it works.
9) If it still doesn't working, try to replace it with another mirror.

Hope this helps anyone out there.

[jeret]

@mlrkumar suggestion worked fine.

If you check the nethunter app there is a part that says metapackages. I'm sure this is the equivalent to update.

mrkumar - thanks for the tip. That took some serious sleuthing, I'm sure but you saved me a lot of time and effort. +1



Using putty connect to Nethunter and Run

[bigbiz]

Open kali terminal
Cd /
Cd /etc/apt
Ls
Mv sources.list /sdcard
Now open up the root browser app and search down till you find sources.list you want to edit delete all
Open up kali repo site and paste and copy the appropriate list you want as your repo
Save list.
Go back to the terminal and type
Mv /sdcard/sources.list /etc/apt
Voila you should be good to go

Thx ! This is perfect !

[unipulkitagg]

keep the same sources.list as mentioned on official website of kali
and run this command

wget -q -O -https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | apt-key add
and then try
apt-get update this will definitely solve this problem.
ThankYou.

it's worked, thank you!

It should be:

wget -O a "https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc" | apt-key add a
apt-get update

I'm not sure what everyones problem here is but if you have the problem of your clock being off or the apt update command saying that the in file release hasnt happened yet type

timedatectl set-ntp on
