Hi
First I want to tell you guys that I'm not that good with this Linux stuff... ( And I haven't found any other thread about just this issue)
Issue /Problem
When I try to install anything and/or do apt-get update I get this error
ERROR
The package linux-image-4.15.0-kali2-amd64 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
uname -r Output
4.14.0-kali3-amd64
Any help is appreciated. :)
Links to threads with the same problem etc are welcome. :)
Hmm, looks like you are running an older version of Kali. Kali 2018.2 runs on 4.16 kernel. Installing the latest version of Kali should fix the problem
Okay but how do I do that without losing any data?Quote:

Normally, apt (or apt-get) would allow you to safely upgrade. Since that's not an option in your case, backup anything you need, then restore after reinstalling Kali. I think that will give you the most stable Kali system.
I use Clonezilla to take an image of my Kali box before major upgrades, and do non-clone data backups as needed.
Okay, I will try that, Thank you so much for the response.
You're welcome...hope it works out for you :)
Got it working now by doing a backup of my important stuff and then Reinstalling Kali on the PC. Thanks to everyone who have responded to this thread. :D
Good to hear! :)
