Try running sudo apt update before running the install command. Could be that the cached apt repository is outdated in your machine and doesn't find the proper package

Another important point is that powershell is only available in x64 architecture. So if you are running 32 bit kali or arm one you can't install it

For now microsoft only supports some architectures and we don't have the manpower to try to support 32 bit ones
