+====== Kali Linuxc: apt error - File has unexpected size ======
+===== problem =====
+The following error is displayed when updating via [[wpde>apt-get]] :
+<code text>
+Err:3 http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling/main amd64 gzip amd64 1.8-1+b1
+File has unexpected size (225568 != 115516). Mirror sync in progress?
+</code>
+===== Workaround =====
+The apt update via [[wpde>http]] should be changed to [[wpde>https]] :
+<code bash>
+echo "deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib" > /etc/apt/sources.list
+apt clean
+apt update
+apt upgrade
+</code>
+Alternatively, the [[wpde>Nano_(Texteditor)]] can be used, but care must be taken to ensure that the http source is commented out.
+The sources.list should then look like this:
+<code text>
+# See https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/
+#deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
+# Additional line for source packages
+# deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
+deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
+</code>
