    that is normally caused by a malformed sources file.

    check /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure that it matches the repos listed here:

    Code:
    http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories
    Failing that, run an apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

    or, alternatively rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives

    and then apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

    If none of that works, you may have a dud mirror (bad rsync or similar) and will need to wait until they sort their stuff out. Otherwise, you can define a custom kali mirror. the procedure is here
