Problems with apt-get update

[itdown]

Hi all, i just recently installed Kali Linux as a VM using VirtualBox, and i'm having some trouble..

Initially, during the *configuring apt* part of the install, it never finds a mirror, so i have to skip that part. Then, once the install is over, inside Kali, i have to manually add the mirror to /etc/apt/sources.list, so i add :

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

However, after doing this, when i try apt-get update, i get the following error:

# apt-get clean && apt-get update
Reading package lists... Done
E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process http received a segmentation fault

There's nothing about it in /var/log/apt/* or any other logs that i can see...

Also i should mention, it isn't a network problem, i can ping IP's and navigate to http addresses just fine...

I thought it may be a VirtualBox issue, but if i boot into the Kali LiveCD, apt works fine. Also other distros i have in VirtualBox (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch), all work fine with their package managers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

Have you verified the hashes from your download? Maybe something went wrong there.

I eventually got it working, i tried ever mirror and eventually found one that worked

I'm still not sure what was causing the majority of mirrors to result in a segmentation fault though...

Just to expand on this a bit, i've narrowed down what the problem was

For some reason, on the fresh install, apt (version 1.1.10) had some problem with the mirrors, and kept seg faulting. I had to try all the mirrors until one finally worked (the one which worked for me was : http://kali.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/kali/). Then, simply:

apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get install apt

This updated apt to v1.3-pre3, and also updated apt-utils from 1.1.10 to v1.3-pre3

I was able to change my mirror back to http://http.kali.org/kali, or use any of the others on the list, they all worked fine

I'm not sure if it was a problem with apt, or apt-utils, as both got upgraded when i upgraded apt, but either way, this is how i got it working.

My Apt-Get is really slowly. I tried change the sources but the issue persist. My connection is good to any site, torrent or anything else. I'm getting just 100kB/s on Kali and apt-get on another linuxs I get 1MB/s. How to solve it?
