Summary0005554: apt-get upgrade gets 404 errors on four packages
Description

The packages apt, apt-utils, libapt-pkg5.0, and libapt-inst2.0 are in the Kali-Rolling amd64 repository only as version 1.8.0 and 1.8.2. The Kali-Rolling repository currently says that the latest version of those four packages is 1.8.1 so when it goes to fetch the packages for upgrade it gets a 404 Not Found error.

I think the repository listing is dated May 8th, 2019 but the 1.8.2 version was added May 31st, 2019.

Steps To Reproduce

On 2019.2:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade --fix-missing

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.
