But doing just update doesnt give any errors but upgrade does and due to this i am not able to install new applications what should i do?

I have changed repository address to

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

and

deb http://old.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib

this from the official kali site

[kali][1]

and now getting the error >

If you wonder why you are getting downvotes, Kali is a Linux distribution intended for seasoned Linux Administrators who are also seasoned security researchers and who already know how to overcome simple issues like the one you have here. It is NOT made for the faint of heart, if you do not have Linux qualifications you are better served by Debian, CoreOS, Mint, or Ubuntu, really, Kali will drive you crazy and we want you to enjoy Linux! — thecarpy, Feb 10 '18 at 13:38

From the Kali Linux documentation:

The single most common causes of a broken Kali Linux installation are following unofficial advice, and particularly arbitrarily populating the system’s sources.list file with unofficial repositories. The following post aims to clarify what repositories should exist in sources.list, and when they should be used.

Any additional repositories added to the Kali sources.list file will most likely BREAK YOUR KALI LINUX INSTALL.

[...]

Retired Kali sana (2.0) Repositories

For access to the retired sana repositories, have the following entries in your sources.list:
deb http://old.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
# For source package access, uncomment the following line
# deb-src http://old.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib

@user8465966 Please update the question with what's happening when you are following the official documentation regarding the retired Sana repositories. I'm not personally using Kali (or Linux at all) and it's hard for me to know what "not working" actually means (what you did and what happened). This info should go into the question. – Kusalananda Feb 10 '18 at 08:25
That particular page does not exist – rithvik36 Feb 10 '18 at 08:44
@user8465966 If the repository mentioned in the official documentation is not accessible, I suggest that you use one of the the Kali Linux Community Support alternatives listed in the documentation here to ask about it: https://docs.kali.org/category/community – Kusalananda Feb 10 '18 at 09:02
still getting the same error – rithvik36 Feb 10 '18 at 12:51
