apt install command not working?!

I have upgraded my Kali Rolling 2016.2 to Kali Rolling 2017.1 without a problem however the apt install command doesn't seem to work! I tried installing different tools that I know for sure that are included in metapackages like OpenVAS. I tried "apt-get install openvas" and "apt install openvas" but I always get the same message "Unable to find package ..."

 Does anyone  have any ideas? Thank in advance!

After you apt-get install openvas, you have to run "openvas-setup", but this is going from memory but google the steps. openvas-setup I believe runs through an install script you have to give answers to in order to set it up. It's not a stand alone executable from what I remember.

Thanks for the replies!


/etc/apt/sources.list:

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2017.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20170416-02:08]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2017.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20170416-02:08]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free

You're not still booted off a live disc right?

Here is what I have in mine for latest kali 2017.1 - cat /etc/apt/sources.list

# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160120-18:14]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160120-18:14]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free

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

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

Only really need the "deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib" line uncommented

Set yours the same, and then do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get apt-get dist-upgrade

Then you should be all set. run updatedb afterwards or reboot too. Once done run "uname -a; cat /etc/*ele* /etc/issue"

You should then be on 2017.1, which is the latest.
