If the full output of "sudo apt-get update" is "Reading package lists... Done" then your system is in a seriously misconfigured state. In which case I recommend to copy the /etc/apt/sources.list from a Kali Live DVD to replace your seriously damaged/missing version of this file. I'd tell you mine but I'm not a Kali user.
