    Issue with the upgrade of metasploit-framework

    Hi,

    I'm running Kali 2 (32bit) on a Virtual Box VM with MAC OS X as Host. After running apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade I can have all packages upgraded with only one exception, metasploit-framework:

    ------------
    Err http://http.kali.org/kali/ sana/main metasploit-framework i386 4.11.5-2015121501-0kali1~r1u1
    404 Not Found
    E: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/...~r1u1_i386.deb 404 Not Found

    E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
    -------------

    this is what I have in my sources file:

    root@kali:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    #
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

    Any hints appreciated,

    thanks,
    Filippo

    You're missing source repositories. Add these to your sources.list

    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

    thanks a lot, now it is working. It's kind of weird though, because my understanding was that these deb-src repositories are optional and I initially removed them in order to keep the storage needs to a minimum!
