    Angry OpenVPN plugin for network manager won't install

    I setup Kali earlier, ran an update after the installation was complete, and now I'm trying to get OpenVPN working but it won't install. I think I must be missing a source or something in my sources.list.

    Here's the command I'm trying to run:
    Code:
    root@kali:~# aptitude -r install network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome network-manager-strongswan network-manager-vpnc network-manager-vpnc-gnome
    No candidate version found for network-manager-openvpn-gnome
    No candidate version found for network-manager-pptp
    No candidate version found for network-manager-pptp-gnome
    No candidate version found for network-manager-strongswan
    No candidate version found for network-manager-vpnc
    No candidate version found for network-manager-vpnc-gnome
    No candidate version found for network-manager-openvpn-gnome
    No candidate version found for network-manager-pptp
    No candidate version found for network-manager-pptp-gnome
    No candidate version found for network-manager-strongswan
    No candidate version found for network-manager-vpnc
    No candidate version found for network-manager-vpnc-gnome
    No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
    0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
    And my sources.list file
    Code:
    # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 _Kali_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150312-17:50]/ kali contrib main non-free
    
    #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 _Kali_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150312-17:50]/ kali contrib main non-free
    
    deb http://security.kali.org/ kali/updates main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://security.kali.org/ kali/updates main contrib non-free
    Everything I find says this should work, yet there are no installation candidates for any of the VPN plugins that I need for NetworkManager

    You are missing a line in your sources.list file. Take a look at: Kali sources.list Repositories

    I'm having the same issue on a fresh 2.0 install. My sources.list is correct. I even cleared it and redid it from the list.

    Running this:

    aptitude -r install network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome network-manager-strongswan network-manager-vpnc network-manager-vpnc-gnome

    This worked a couple weeks ago, now nothing. Have the network manager packages been renamed? Any other ideas?

    OK, fixed it. Had to update after redoing sources.list
