apt-get upgrade stuck in loop downloading metasploit-framework

Hello Kali gurus!

I downloaded the VirtualBox binaries (Kali-Linux-2017.1-vm-amd64.7z) and fired it up in VirtualBox. The first thing I did after logging on is run the standard apt-get commands:

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get -V upgrade

Unfortunately, it appears that apt-get is stuck in a look and continuously trying to download the metasploit framework

Code:

803 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 73 not upgraded. Need to get 548 MB/924 MB of archives. After this operation, 117 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue?

Would anyone have any idea what is going on here? Here is the sources.list (which is the standard configuration)

Code:

root@kali:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2017.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20170416-02:08]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2017.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20170416-02:08]/ kali-rolling contrib main 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

I already ran apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean which made no difference.

Thanks!
