apt (1.2~exp1) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Automatic removal of debs after install ]
After packages are successfully installed by apt(8),
the corresponding .deb package files will be
removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
"Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
# echo 'Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
are installed. To enable the behavior for other tools, you can set
"APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to false.
[ Compressed indices ]
If you use Acquire::gzipIndexes, or any other compressed index targets,
those will now be compressed with the fastest supported algorithm,
currently lz4.

Now to be honest I know that this forum is dedicated to the professional penetration testers , and the network engineers ..... so on and so forth , that's why before I post this issue I've looked everywhere on the net , there's nowhere of this particular problem to be found , so I've looked over and over for similar issues , I tried their suggested solutions , I even copied the source repositories from the official website of KALI to the txt file sources.list , bu nothing worked at all , every time , I get the same results of the upgrade and it gets stuck .
So , please , for the sake of learning and information , I urge you to help me , someone there plz give a little bit of his attention to this issue of mine , because I've suffered enough of it (almost two weeks ) , because I too want to get acquainted to KALI and start learning it and using it , and to the KALI forum administrators group , please don't turn me down this time , help a brother out just by approving of this topic to be posted , so someone can at least take a look at it .
Zedskey McWise
with appreciation and gratefulness .
