Summary0007118: Unable to Update
Description

I've installed Kali 2021.1 and I am unable to update it. I've tried all of the public 'fixes' and they have not done any good.

Output of /etc/apt/sources.list:

└─$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

See https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/

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

Additional line for source packages

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

I've tried both the default mirror that uses 'http' and the inter webs suggestion of changing it to 'https' and neither work. This issue originated when trying to update Kali 2020.4 and I've been working at it off/on for almost 2 weeks now hoping, since nothing changed, it would fix itself.

Steps To Reproduce

sudo apt update

Additional Information

Output from running Update prior to updating sources.list to 'https'

I just tried to update/upgrade on a 3rd laptop and it seems to be working as expected. It may be a config issue with my other 2 laptops.

Issue resolved. I edited my /etc/resolv.conf file and added the 8.8.8.8 nameserver as my first entry. Reran the the sudo apt update command

└─$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
