Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

[node]

Terminal type

echo "deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Or leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list

And enter the above save then try.

apt-get update

I had the same exact problem after kali rolling update...thought I broke kali...change to kde...no go...almost thought about a complete reinstall...instead I tried dpkg and it work but only on command or app that i on. Bottom line googled and google , tried a few forums ended up /etc/apt/source.list commented everything out but kali rolling , sofar so good.

I added the lines suggested by Node to /etc/apt/sources.list and I still get the same error: E: Unable to locate package gparted

This is the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free


Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Thanks in advance!
