Kali would return a 404 error, so I did as the line suggest and ran the update.
After running apt-get update the following would happen:
Code:
root@kali:~# apt-get update

Turns out the keyring package is outdated.
so running apt-get install mingw-w64 -y would just return the same 404 errors.
The fix:
Run the following command
Code:
root@kali:~# wget -q -O - https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | apt-key add
OK
root@kali:~# apt-get update
