    first i want to thank you all for even taking the time to look a t this one. second let me give you some context.

    why is my kali trying to get ununtu updates?

    my sources.list file reads as follows:

    GNU nano 5.4 /etc/apt/sources.list
    # See https://www.kali.org/docs/general-us...-repositories/
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-last-snapshot main non-free contrib
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-experimental main non-free contrib

    # Additional line for source packages
    # deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib


    there's a bunch of lines after this telling me why it can't do what it cant do from where it cant do it from blah blah.

    but so, my question here is, what happened? why is it trying to grab stuff from repositories that aren't listed in the sources.list file? and how do i stop it from doing this?

    im trying to get my TP-Link usb wifi adapter to run, and i need to update the headers, actually add repositories so that i can get the updates and upgrades i need to finish the driver patching.

    any help you guys and gals could offer would be much appreciated.

    I know this is several months old, but for whomever stumbles upon this; know that apt-get has been disabled in Kali - Use sudo apt update, install upgrade etc...
    So the answer to this question is stop using apt-get.

    By adding Kali?s repository to a non-Kali OS (such as trying to add Kali to Ubuntu), this will highly increase the chance of your system not working. It may not happen straight away, but without any warning, it may break. We will not be able to offer support (and based on what we have seen over the years, most other OS will not help too).


    Likewise, adding other operating system?s repositories into Kali (such as trying to put Ubuntu on Kali), will break your installation. This is the single most common reason why Kali Linux systems break.
