I got the following error message when trying to install kali-menu package in Kali Linux.

root@DarkShadow:~# apt-get install kali-menu -y
Reading package lists... Done

Package kali-menu is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'kali-menu' has no installation candidate

kali-menu package is provided in Kali Linux by the kali-rolling repository.

Kali Rolling users are expected to have the following entry in their /etc/apt/sources.list file:

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

kali-menu package is also provided in Kali Linux by the kali-dev repository. While kali-dev is publicly accessible to everybody on all Kali mirrors, this distribution should not be used by end-users as it will regularly break.

For more information see apt sources.list | Kali Linux Documentation.
