Can't install most common used programs, also many seem missing

[DiscoQuiche]

hi,

running a new install of Kali 2022.2 in VMWare and it is doing some funky things. If I run an ls command in the terminal it tells me:

Command 'exa' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install exa

When I run that I get many errors:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  exa
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 297 kB of archives.
After this operation, 867 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Err:1 http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling/main amd64 exa amd64 0.10.1-2
  404  Not Found [IP: 192.99.200.113 80]
E: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/r/rust-exa/exa_0.10.1-2_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 192.99.200.113 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

This happens on many things that I try to install. It's like the install command is getting the wrong info.

Hope someone can help.

did you do the last thing it suggested..

run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

First use a vpn, this maybe won't work on the first try so try some different regions.

Then again, sudo apt update
then, sudo apt-get upgrade
There should now be a large package update coming in.

I just made a thread with a similar issue.. the mirror with this IP is broken
192.99.200.113

It does not contain all the files. I fixed my issue by looking at the kali.org mirrors and add one that worked to my sources.list
