    I have tried several combinations of sources and still get the same error, even with only

    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

    Whats wrong?

    For some reason i was told to write this on bash

    echo 'APT:efault-Release "testing";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf

    that was the problem, I just delete that line in the file.
