E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I tried the following commands in this order but it didn't help.

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update --fix-broken
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sources.list:

# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 2$

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 2$

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

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

deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main

Also my key list is up to date (as far as I can see).

Everything was working fine but today randomly when trying to upgrade packages it gives that error. I can still install other software though. Does anyone knows how I can fix this?

Solution 1:

I used

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

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

for sources instead of the original ones. It worked like a charm.

Solution 2:

According to the Kali Linux Official Documentation, the sources.list file should contain the following line(s):

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
# For source package access, uncomment the following line
# deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

(changing/updating my sources.list file accordingly, fixed this issue for me)
