What is the error:
I ran the instructions as detailed in A New Kali Linux Archive Signing Key | Kali Linux Blog
blog post about a month ago and until now I didn’t have an issue updating Kali.

I redid the instructions again as detailed in the above post and I still get the error.

What device is this on:
This occurs on both a Raspberry Pi and and an AMD64 VM.

(am unable to paste the source file as I’m a new user to the forum. This means that I can’t reply with more than 2 urls)

the source.list file is the same on both the PI and VM

That looks good to me.

I’d recommend to try updating according to the docs (e.g ‘apt update’ instead of ‘apt-get update’):

I’ve worked out te the issue was. I was using ápt-cacher’ caching program
If I disable this, I have no issues.

Many thanks for having a look at this problem

Interesting, never came across an ‘apt cacher’ before.
Glad you figured it out :slight_smile:
