I tried the following commands in this order but it didn't help.

  • sudo apt-get clean
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get upgrade
  • sudo apt-get update --fix-broken
  • sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Everything was working fine but today randomly when trying to upgrade packages it gives that error. I can still install other software though. Does anyone knows how I can fix this?

apt couldn't able to connect to repository. Check if internet is ok – 7171u – 2016-02-18T14:46:43.370

@7171u My internet works. I can connect manually to the repository without any problems. – Android – 2016-02-18T14:58:39.423

Nevermind my VPS hosting e-mailed me saying there were some problems with my VPS and that they where working on fixing it. And I just tried it and it worked again...

Very strange since I could reach the kali repository manually just fine...

I used

deb http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

deb-src http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

for sources instead of the original ones. It worked like a charm.

Can you point to an official source suggesting these? It looks from the URLs like they are probably safe to use, but given the level of compromise that can happen when using an inappropriate repository (basically, an attacker can take over the whole system), some sort of official statement -- even if it's just a page on the distro's official web site giving them as an alternative -- is always good. – a CVn – 2016-02-18T20:30:19.123

@MichaelKjörling That would indeed be nice since I've heard something like that is going around lately. dimitrios1988 Could you provide an official source suggesting these? – Android – 2016-02-19T11:23:00.763

I don't have an official source. I found it on another forum. – dimitrios1988 – 2016-02-20T07:30:59.913

@MichaelKjörling, btw it is Kali's subdomain. Don't worry. There is no attacker. And the packages are signed by Kali. – dimitrios1988 – 2016-02-20T07:33:17.413

According to the Kali Linux Official Documentation, the sources.list file should contain the following line(s):

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

(changing/updating my sources.list file accordingly, fixed this issue for me)

worked for me step 1. wget -q -O - https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | apt-key add

step 2. apt install ./kali-archive-keyring_2018.1_all.deb

step 3 apt-get update

I'm a beginner, don't know much in depth about the issue. I, though, wasted my two whole days searching on internet about same problem: "kali rolling repository is not updating." Nothing worked. Then I switched from my public hostel Wi-Fi to paid mobile internet hotspot, re-tried the following command: 

apt-get update

and it worked perfectetly. If U are using some school or public Wi-Fi, it maybe restricting or blocking your hits. Try SWITCHING your internet connections or use VPN. Worked for me.

1What exactly is your suggestion? The author already attempted apt-get update which is the entire reason this question exists. The author submitted an answer themselves indicating it was a problem with their VPS service itself. – Ramhound – 2017-11-29T15:32:45.023

I am a beginner myself. Don't know in depth. apt-get update was not working for me on 'public Wi-Fi'. When I switched to my own internet connection , it worked. I was suggesting to switch internet connections or try a VPN! – Sarmad Baloch – 2017-11-29T21:17:13.717

The author is using a VPS, difficult to use a "different internet connection" in that case. The suggestion of a VPN has some merits but seems overkill. – Ramhound – 2017-11-29T21:37:23.297
