Specific packages fail

Hi Kali users!

I'm having a weird issue where only a handful of packages are failing to update. I have been looking to solve this problem for about 2 weeks now, but I could not find any solution, and the issue is definitely not a temporary service shortage. All the other packages I've tried downloading work fine except these :confused:

Code:

I'm not sure if this affects other packages as well

My sources.list looks correct as per the official documentation:

Code:

---

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

---

You can try the URLs for these packages yourself from the browser, for example:


http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/r/ruby-librex/ruby-librex_0.0.68-0kali1+build1_all.deb
http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/...0kali4_all.deb

However any other package will work, for example:

http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/...g0-3_amd64.deb
http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/....3-1_amd64.deb

Thanks in advance for any help and happy 2018!

Have you tried a different mirror? The one you default to may be broken.

It's a connection issue.

You don't need the second entry in your sources.list. deb-src is used by those who want to compile and install packages from their source. deb-src downloads source code of packages. Comment that line if you don't compile packages yourself.

Thanks for the correction, _defalt :) I missed the pattern in the error messages.
