    Still Unable to find Packages

    Hey guys. I've done some searching and tried some things to figure this out myself, so forgive me if I've missed something. I am having trouble finding some packages to install relating to openvpn. I have updated my sources.list in /etc/apt and am still getting no beans.

    What version of kali are you using?
    What does your source file look like now?
    Did you run apt-get update afterwards?

    Hi there,

    what you mean with updated sources.list? I've tried it with the standard one: https://www.kali.org/news/kali-moto-eol/
    Then I followed this guide: http://www.blackmoreops.com/2015/03/...on-kali-linux/
    Instead of "aptitude -r install" I used "apt-get install", but that shouldnt make any difference. It ended in an error like yours.

    After a short look on "apt-cache search" I recognized, that the package "network-manager-strongswan" is replaced by "strongswan-nm"!
    If you want to proofe this by yourself just run "apt-cache search network-manager-strongswan".

    So the final command was like "apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome strongswan-nm network-manager-vpnc network-manager-vpnc-gnome".

    Now the installation worked perfectly!
    Hope it helps!

    I posted a reply on here yesterday, but its not showing up. I've had that happen to me several times on here. HOpefully this one will stick. So to answer questions, I'm running Kali 2.0. I have run apt-get update after editing my sources.list and @reidamaxia network-manager-openvpn was not the only package that kali was unable to find. it was every single one of them, check my screenshot in the OP. Here is a screen of what my sources.list looks like guys. ....also... after trying what @reidamaxia said above, I got different results, but nothing installed. it simply stated that 'example' is referred to by another package .... so I did apt-cache search again to try to find some candidates but no luck. there is a screenshot of that below also.

    In your sources.list look messy and you miss the following:

    Code:
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
    you should have:

    Code:
    # Regular repositories
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free
    #Source repositories
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free

    Hi DocHolliday

    I think you didnt follow my steps really correct You sources.list doest not look like I suggested it... -->
    what you mean with updated sources.list? I've tried it with the standard one: https://www.kali.org/news/kali-moto-eol/
    So as Negatho says, you are missing a repository path!
