Summary0004203: Some Package files are 0 bytes for debian-installer/binary-amd64 directories
Description

There are 2 directories in the Kali Repositories that have a 0 byte Packages file and a 20 byte Packages.gz file.

http://http.kali.org/dists/kali-rolling/contrib/debian-installer/binary-amd64/
http://http.kali.org/dists/kali-rolling/non-free/debian-installer/binary-amd64/

My PXE install is looking for these files and not finding them. This causes the install to fail with an error stating that there are no packages matching running kernel in archive. I have checked multiple official Kali mirrors and found they all have the same issue. Can we get those files updated properly?

Steps To Reproduce

Update your local mirror against http.kali.org.
Try to install via PXE
Error occurs when installing packages

Additional Information

Attached screenshot of the /var/log/syslog where errors occur

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x/2017.1), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
