error: unable to fetch 404 install tor

[captain104]

Hello,

I've installed kali 2022.2 today and all went well.
Then I wanted to install tor so I did a apt update and the a apt install tor.

Then the error messages came, see below.

I've tried updating the repo's and sources.list but nothing worked.
This is the uncommented line in the sources.list:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free


Yes I did a sudo apt update afterwords.

What I noticed was the errors contains a tor version that is indeed not available (0.4.6....).
I'm no expert so I'm not sure if that info was helpful.

I also did a new install on a different machine today and same story.

Thank you for the help. I'm new and did my best to follow the guidelines.

Found the solution. Seemed to be something wrong with the mirrors.
here's the fix.

First use a vpn, this maybe won't work on the first try so try some different regions.

Then again, sudo apt update
Then, sudo apt-get upgrade

There shoud be a large package update coming in now.

Then try and install again.

search for an available version

apt search package-name

I just made a thread with a similar issue.. the mirror with this IP is broken
192.99.200.113

It does not contain all the files. I fixed my issue by looking at the kali.org mirrors and add one that worked to my sources.list
http://http.kali.org/README.mirrorlist

Which mirror did you use? I tried all 4 US mirrors shown at http://http.kali.org/README.mirrorlist
and they all report "E: Unable to locate package kali-win-kex"

Thanks

In Kali, settings, kali tweaks, change repo to cloudflare CDN and try again

Thanks Fred. I ended up getting it to work by using http://ftp.free.fr/pub/kali

It was slower, but it did get everything. Then I ran sudo apt install -y kali-linux-large So now I have Win-Kex and a big Kali install running on WSL2.

Should my first post be marked as SOLVED? If so, you can do it or I can.
