Did you run "apt update" before and can you please copy/paste the log of apt update? I want to know to which mirror you are being redirected as the mirror is likely serving you an old repository listing as you say.

Otherwise please share the output of "curl -sI http://http.kali.org/README" it should indicate your mirror as well.

Looks like duke.edu is my local mirror and they updated so that 'apt' points to a valid version (1.8.2). There were 239 other packages that needed upgrades and they all worked. You can close this report as solved.

Thanks, closing.
