    HI zimmaro and thanks for help

    but still doesn't work...
    after the two commands, i received this response:

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    Package bridge-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    E: Package 'bridge-utils' has no installation candidate

    what can be the problem??
    thanks again for your help!

    Hey guys don't know if you fixed this problem or not, but i may have found a solution (Worked for me). So what you wanna do is open this file "/etc/apt/sources.list" and add these two lines after the last line:
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
    Then in your console run the commands: apt-get update
    apt-get install bridge-utils
    It should have worked. Hope it worked out peeps.

    for those who still have a problem:
    step 1: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    step 2: delete all in sources.list
    step 3: paste " deb http://old.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
    # For source package access, uncomment the following line
    # deb-src http://old.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib " without Quotes
    step 4: in consol type " atp-get update"
    step 5: then type sudo " atp-get bridge-utils "
