If you can reproduce, please change your mirror to `http://kali.download/kali` in `/etc/apt/sources.list`. Then `sudo apt distclean && sudo apt update`. Can you still reproduce it? If so, can you please paste the output of: `curl -sI http://kali.download/kali/dists/kali-rolling/main/Contents-amd64.gz` I'm trying to assess if you hit some Cloudflare caching issue.
