Summary0005205: AWS Kali 2018.3a unable to find fio-3.6-4
Description

The AWS AMI for Kali, version 2018.3a, is unable to install the package fio.

From a clean VM (no user modifications at all), attempt to run sudo apt-get install fio and you will get an error message stating 3.6-4 fio is not available.

Looking at the repo: http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/f/fio/ it is clear that 3.6-4 is not a version offered at all, so this could not possibly work.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Spin up a kali 2018.3a image, in us-east-1: ami-07360d1b1c9e13198
  2. Ensure SSH access is allowed (or use Systems Manager to get a shell), and access the machine
  3. Run the command sudo apt-get install fio
Additional Information

This was tested on an t2.medium instance with a public IP address. Network security is not a factor, as the kali website clearly doesn't have that version listed.

ec2-user@kali:~$ sudo apt-get install fio

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling <= 2018.4), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
