Unable to install or remove anything.

Hey Guys

This is the error that I'm keep getting again and again, Showed up first when I upgraded the system. I believe I messed up with my system without knowing what I'm doing but I don't know how to go back. apt-get dselect-upgrade is giving me the same problem.

Any help please . That will be highly appreciable for me.

Thank You.

You've been mixing your kali repositories, and have broken your system. No clue how to help you now other than recommend a clean install.

You can just edit checkroot.sh and remove mtab from the script header. That will allow you to progress.
