Failure to upgrade

Hi,
I'm trying a routine upgrade of my Linux system (Kali) by doing the usual:
Code:
$ apt-get update
$ aptitude safe-upgrade

That usually works fine but this time the apt-get update works as usual but I get the following error message for each file that should be downloaded by aptitude:
Code:
Err http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling/main amd64 bash-doc all 5.0-2
   404  Not Found [IP: 192.99.200.113 80]

And finally:
Code:
...
0% [Working]E: Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/b/bash/bash_5.0-2_amd64.deb: 404  Not Found [IP: 192.99.200.113 80]
  E: Unable to fetch some packages; try '-o APT::Get::Fix-Missing=true' to continue with missing packages

Trying the advice
Code:
$ sudo aptitude -o APT::Get::Fix-Missing=true

didn't help.

Pinging the address works fine.
What could be the problem?
