    Can you post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali.list?

    clearly /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali.list has wrong syntax, either
    remove it or correct it

    Ivo Junior, first of all, cross-posting is rude and spammy. Do not do this:

    To: debian-user@lists.debian.org, forumadmin@forums.debian.net, wiki@debian.org, listmaster@lists.debian.org

    Pick one list instead:

    To: debian-user@lists.debian.org

    Secondly, debian is the wrong place to look for help with antiX, at
    least for a first pass.

    Look for links to forums or listservs dedicated to antiX. Wikipedia says this

    https://antixlinux.com/

    is their official website. If I were you, I would start there.

    If you want help from anyone, I imagine they will want you to post the
    contents of this file:

    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali.list

    You should definitely remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kali.list
    and, optionally, replace it with a known good one.

    Then, run `sudo apt update` and try again.

    I did wonder how many days of 2026 would pass before someone asked about something that's not Debian, and now I have my answer. With bonus of
    posting "Malformed entry in [file]" but then not showing us the contents
    of [file]. ?

    Thanks,
    Andy
