Fix Archive Keyring Change Errors

Occasionally happens whenever Kali has a major update, you’ll see some kind of error that about a keyring being outdated or wrong

Can run the below and it should fix the problem:

1
wget "https://archive.kali.org/archive-keyring.gpg" && sudo mv /usr/share/keyrings/kali-archive-keyring.gpg && sudo apt update

Note: Guides online (even from Kali) will point that you should run wget with sudo. This is HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED as you should not expose root permissions to the outside if at all possible (this could be that they just haven’t updated their forums in a while)
