Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/dists/kali/Release.gpg

Hi everyone,

When i run apt-get update i have some packages that can't be fetches:

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I really don't see the origin of this error, any idea ?

Thanks

Hi Aymeric

The first and eigth errors are the same.

These error may be simple to resolve, I quick DNS search says ftp://security.debian.org resides elsewhere.
If I curl your page.. I get this.

Which is all good, but it's not the front end to any FTP server I'm familiar with, so I went to DNS and did a little digging...

The next six errors reference "can't resolve proxy", which is a local issue, are you behind a proxy?

Thank you.

I did not get how you solved the first error...

For the "could not resolve 'proxy'", i checked checked my mozzila options (as root or not) and i'm not behind a proxy. I also erased a file that i created earlier for wget option called .wgetrc, in this file was mentionned a proxy named 'proxy' (i used it in my university), but i still have the same error..
