    Question Error 404 while fetching sources (apt-get update)

    Hi there,

    While updating, my Kali tries to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/dists/kali and http://security.kali.org/kali-security/dists/kali, which do both not exist, right? So this ends up in an 404 Not Found error.

    Due to this post https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...-kali-security, I tried to change my Sources.list or clean the folder /var/lib/apt/lists/partial. Did not work!
    I tried another mirror without success too.

    Sources.list:

    Kali Version:

    Why does it try to fetch unexisting sources? How can I avoid this?

    Hope for help. Thanks a lot!

    You will need to edit your sources.list
