Could you provide more information about what you are trying to download? I guess you're doing an apt install that fails to download the package
Can you provide any screenshots and the commands you used?

Can you please provide logs? Like, really copy and paste the apt command that you type, along with the whole output of the command. Or screenshots. Maybe you happen to hit a mirror that has a problem.

Also, did you run sudo apt update before trying to install a package? What's the output of sudo apt update?

Yes, I ran the sudo apt update command before trying to install any package, and the result is that all packages are up to date

That is not a normal apt update output? Regardless if the "packages are up to date", it should still fetch every repository listed - both Kali and non-Kali.

Show us the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list as well as any other file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Looks more like configuration support for a support forum

Seems like your /etc/apt/sources.list is empty, please show the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list and cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, thanks

  1. You are entering the wrong commands, as evident by your first screenshot. it's cat /etc/apt/sources.list and cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
  2. If there are no text in /etc/apt/sources.list, refer to the docs: https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/

I'm closing this ticket, it is not a bug.

Please create a valid /etc/apt/sources.list as documented at https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/ -- I have no idea why this file is empty for you -- then everything will work.
