Summary0005101: apt-get won't work
Description

I keep trying

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install

And nothing happens, no errors at all. I press enter and absolutely nothing
happens. (first screenshot) - it staid like that overnight, nothing happened.

Before this happened I had a dual boot with Windows 7 and had to reinstall
Windows,
Done that and then used a Kali Live USB to fix the boot loader, after boot
loader was fixed it starts and runs fine
But no apt-get command works, none of them.

Any ideas what went wrong or what I did wrong ?

Would prefer not to reinstall Kali also.

sources.list contains :

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

When I use Ctrl+C I get (see second screenshot) - same result to any command I use it on

apt-get nstall (third screenshot)

Why do you have "squid-deb-proxy-client" installed? AFAIK it's not installed by default by Kali.

That's the package which hooks into apt and which is blocking everything for you. I don't know why it blocks though. That's likely a real bug in that package. Try "dpkg -P squid-deb-proxy-client" to get rid of it.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=0;dist=unstable;ordering=normal;repeatmerged=0;src=squid-deb-proxy does not show any similar report...

That did the trick but I don't know where I have it from either. I did not install it directly, my be a requirement for Oracle Virtual Box ? ... unsure, I'll check and report back.

Is there a way I can find why it was blocking me ?

This sounds like question for the forums (https://forums.kali.org/), not the bug tracker
