I have installed Kali Linux and I have updated it many times using the sudo apt-get update command successfully, but, according to my memory, after installing KDE or AMD packages the update command doesn't work. It downloads some packages, it suddenly stops and shows '0% [Working]' without giving any error or without exiting the update process:

Get:23 http://ftp.yzu.edu.tw/Linux/kali kali-rolling/non-free amd64 Contents (deb) [839 kB]
0% [Working]

I tried sudo apt-get clean and rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*, but that didn't fix this error and now there are no packages in /var/lib/apt/lists.

How can I fix this? This is the output I see on my terminal:

  • Choosing a different server in the Software Updater probably may solve this issue.

  • Kali Rolling has only one URL in the sources.list file to get its repositories. so how should i use a different server? @mook765

  • It seems there was a change in the update procedure maybe a week ago and after that change i had the same issue in Kubuntu and in UbuntuStudio. Changing to a different server solved this for me. I don't have KaliLinux installed, so I don't know how many servers they offer. When I double-click sources.list the software-updater will open and then I click the small triangle to choose a server, then I choose others, that opens a list of servers for many countries. But as I said I am on Ubuntu-based distros, Kali is Debian based and might be a bit different.
