Failure to Fetch Wheezy Packages. Any Solutions?

Hello Everyone,

I ran a sudo apt-get update on my terminal and it updated everything but the Wheezy Packages. I received the following error message:

W: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/dists//wheezy/m...amd64/Packages
404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org./dists//wheezy/...amd64/Packages
404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/dists//wheezy/n...amd64/Packages
404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored or old ones used instead.

Any help or solutions for this issue please would be much appreciated. Thanks

Are you sure your sources.list contains valid entries? I installed wheezy about six months ago and used the sources.list from The Debian Administrator's Handbook:

Code:

# Security updates

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

## Debian mirror

# Base repository

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free

# Stable updates

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main contrib non-free

# Stable backports

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free

I have not had any difficulties with software updates using the Update Manager. There is also an LQ Debian thread devoted to sources.list entries:

Looks like in your sources.list you should have "debian-wheezy" not just "wheezy". link
