Summary0000657: Apt get update is not getting proper index for files on repos to install
Description

apt-get update
apt-get install metasploit
....
Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/non-free/m/metasploit/metasploit_[B]4.7.1[/B]-2013100901-1kali0_amd64.deb 404 Not Found
...
[/CODE]
Please note that in sources it tries to find 4.7.1
while
[url]http://http.kali.org/pool/main/m/metasploit-framework/[/url]
you can see that they updated it on October 17th with 4.7.2

So, I wonder why apt-get update didn't pick it up?
When I manually downloaded the file and tried to
[HTML]
dpkg -i metasploit-framework_4.7.2-2013101601-1kali0_amd64.deb
....
dpkg-deb: error: `metasploit-framework_4.7.2-2013101601-1kali0_amd64.deb' is not a debian format archive
[/HTML]
WEIRD!!!!

is this an issue on my side or their side with apt-get???
It seems like their pool is not indexed correctly after rapid7 team made a push to kali repo 2 days ago.

Steps To Reproduce

apt-get update
apt-get remove metasploit
apt-get install metasploit

Actual result:

Need to get 208 MB of archives.
After this operation, 476 MB of additional disk space will be used.
