| Description | After Update to Kali Sana 2.0. with my host system i got this issue with upgrading my system " E: Failed to fetch some archives, may run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? " I also installed on VM trying to see if it was my computer that was having this but problem. But unfortunately I encountered the same isuue after using | ||||

| Attached Files | |||||
|
I just tried to reproduce the problem on a clean install of Kali 2.0 on a pendrive and it gives the error the first time "apt-get upgrade" is run, but once I run "apt-get upgrade --fix-missing" the problem doesn't appear anymore. Just to let you know that a clean install should work as it should, if you really need a copy of Kali running up to date ASAP. |
|
|
I just tried the same steps again. Downloading from Kali's Download Page And doing a Clean install And I still got the same error. I even tried "apt-get upgrade --fix-missing" like you have sugested but it's still the same. |

Please indicate us which mirror your are redirected to... Send us the output of “curl -sI http://http.kali.org/README” A more complete log showing which package is supposed to be missing would be nice too. |

apt-get upgrade E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? |
|
|
In the past, we've seen this happen when theres a proxy + AV solution enabled, which flags the contents of the webshell package as malicious. Please check that this is not happening in your place before we proceed. |
|
|
I have Kali Installed on a system and since after the installation i haven't used it for anything. Only Just tried to Upgrade then i got the error. And there is no Proxy running or even an AV Installed. |
|
|
I just figured it out. I think it's been block by my ISP provider because i use a VPN service now and it was successfully upgraded |

Resolved. |
