Summary0004877: apt upgrade results in 404 not found error while trying to reach 192.99.200.113
Description

There seems to be an issue with the http.kali.org repository. Attempting to reach the base-files_2018.3.0_amd64.deb package using "apt upgrade" (using either the http or https protocol) results in the error:
Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/b/base-files/base-files_2018.3.0_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 192.99.200.113 80]

Workaround:

  1. Backup /etc/apt/sources.list.
  2. Replace all lines pointing to "http.kali.org" with "archive.kali.org". Save the file.
  3. Run apt update && apt upgrade && apt dist-upgrade again.
  4. Revert all lines in /etc/apt/sources.list from "archive.kali.org" to "http.kali.org". Save the file.
  5. Run apt update && apt upgrade && apt dist-upgrade again to check for any missing packages.

This was likely a temporary propagation issue, should be fixed now. The mirror redirector has the file in question.
