I am trying to update Kali Linux via the official source_lists
while when i do sudo apt-get update it fails saying W: Failed to fetch
The source list is as follows :- 

in /etc/apt/sources.list:
#regular repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

#sources respositories
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free

The output after installing some packagesapt-get update is :- 

W: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/dists/sana/InRelease  

W: Failed to fetch http://security.kali.org/kali-security/dists/sana/updates/InRelease  Unable to find expected entry 'non-fre/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

W: Failed to fetch http://security.kali.org/kali-security/dists/sana/updates/main/source/Sources  Unable to connect to security.kali.org:http:

W: Failed to fetch http://security.kali.org/kali-security/dists/sana/updates/contrib/source/Sources  Unable to connect to security.kali.org:http:

W: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/dists/sana/Release.gpg  Unable to connect to http.kali.org:http:

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Please post feedback if anything else is to be updated

I'm seeing the same thing today. I was able to update one of our machines, earlier, but now it's mostly dead.

I know forums.kali.org is protected by Sucuri cloud proxy. I can manually browse to most of http.kali.org, but occasionally get an error. I wonder if the rest of the domain is also fronted by them.

As I type this, I'm watching a machine that just was able to get through apt-get update, but is timing out trying to fetch packages.

0% [Connecting to http.kali.org (192.99.200.113)]

Wish I could help more than confirm... it's not your machine.
