I'm unsure if the package process is just out of date or if the 20150809 version of exploitdb was removed on accident.

The Package.gz available at http://http.kali.org/kali/dists/sana/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz still points to the older 20150809 version of exploitdb however, the http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/e/exploitdb/ directory only contains the 20150827 version.

It was supposed to be fixed... I contacted the admin once more and I disabled it again until it's fixed.

Working while disabled. I'll test again once you re-enable it.

Thanks for the quick response!

The mirror is still disabled, the mirror has further problems. Closing the bug now.
