    apt-get update / upgrade not working

    Hi!

    Searched the forum but found no answer. I have kali linux latest version, and trying to update/upgrade. there's a lot of packages to get but it always fail. I tried the graphical update and command with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. Even tried with sudo, but no luck. My error is always the same in command:

    Error http://http.kali.org/kali/ kali/main kali-linux-full i386 1.40
    404 Not Found

    Over and over again..

    Running the graphical interface gets me a pop-up saying the same..

    pls help.

    edit: Got all updates narrowed down to 5 failing. Ran aptitude safe-upgrade and managed to update 75 out of 80..

    However i still get this on the last 5:

    # apt-get upgrade
    Läser paketlistor... Färdig

    Följande paket kommer att uppgraderas:

    Don't mean to hijack your post but I have the exact same issue pertaining to the same packages. I have no solution at all. It has been running stable for over a year and suddenly it broke.
    -----------------------------------
    Here is my sources.list file:
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main/debian-installer
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main/debian-installer
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
    deb http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-bleeding-edge main

    Found solution by changing mirror.
    apt-get update/upgrade and dist-upgrade run perfect. I now have an up to date kali system

    Care to share how you did? Found a similar tip that helped me change to 8.8.8.8 google, but mine is still broken. How and to what (if no secret) did you change?

    I have just seen this in the official documentation: http://http.kali.org/README.mirrorlist (from this web http://docs.kali.org/kali-support/kali-linux-mirrors)
