"Hash Sum missmatch" when installing packages

[ben1144]

Hi everyone!

I'm getting a couple of "Hash Sum mismatch" errors when trying to install packages or running "apt-get upgrade". I searched the forums and the usually recommended solution "rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*" unfortunately didn't help.

my sources.list:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main/debian-installer
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

output of apt-get upgrade:

The funny thing is that when I try to install a package that threw such errors separately, everything seems to work fine. For example, "apt-get install perl" terminates successfully.

Thanks for the help!

delete in source list this
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main/debian-installer (or comment it with #)
and try again

hi! thanks for the reply. i commented the line out, ran apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade but encountered the same errors. i also tried deleting the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* and rerunning this command, but it didn't help either.

Is the computer at home or at work? I have the same issue with update and upgrade when at work. Bring the system home and do an update.
