Seems like you have a syntax error in your sources.list file you need to correct it. This is how the correct syntax looks like: See https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/ (this should be a # in front of the "See" which comments out the line (idk why it did change it to a bold/big text))deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware Additional line for source packages (same here)deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware You probably have some wrong spacing or something. |
