    Problem upgrading to Kali Rolling

    I'm on Kali 2.0 (sana) and I try to upgrade to Kali Rolling. I do as described in the instructions:
    Code:
    cat << EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
    EOF
    
    apt-get update
    apt-get dist-upgrade
    But at the end I get 404 Not Found for some packages:
    Code:
    E: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/a/apt/apt-utils_1.2.2_amd64.deb  404  Not Found

    Where is the problem?

    If I recall correctly I used the apt-get dist-upgrade first and it worked. Use apt-get update afterwards and it should work. Lemme know if that solves it.

    Could be the mirrors are having issues. Best to wait 5 mins and then try again.

    I fixed it. Just used 'repo' instead of 'http'.

    The fix posted by zdzdz worked for me to. Changed it to http://repo.kali.org.....

    Should the instructions be changed here - https://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux...dition-2016-1/ ?

    Or was the problem that we had not common?
