The source you are calling official is not official at all and using that may crash your kernel. Kali rolling has only one official repository which is:
deb
http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
Your sources.list file is not controlled by offensive security. You can add and remove whatever link you want. In kali-linux documentation it is strictly written what repositories are being used for kali rolling. I can't find yours in it.
Exactly. And http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kal...t-repositories shows that deb-src is in the sources.list file by default. It specifically uses
Code:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
# For source package access, uncomment the following line
# deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
which tells me it IS an official Kali Linux repository. They wouldn't put a repository in the sources.list if it was going to bork the system every time. And you build a binary directly from source. So why would building from source break my laptop when the binaries build from said source work just fine?
By the way, thanks for taking your time to help me out. I just don't understand why the deb packages work but the same deb-src packages don't.
