I downloaded Offensive Security Kali Linux 2020.2 Virtual Box ova from their website. When I try to update apt, hash sum mismatch error occurs. I tried to update my repositories but to no avail. I have attached the screenshot from /etc/apt/sources.listThis is my kali version No LSB modules are available Distributor ID: Kali Description: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling Release: 2020.2 Codename: kali-rolling
I have also attached the screenshot of the error from sudo apt-get update "screenshot 1" "screenshot 2

It seems gcrypto20 that SHA256 and SHA1 have different hash values because they are used in the new Linux. I was able to solve it by the following procedure based on the site posted for reference.
Solution 1: Disable WSL 1/2 on windows if not required, This solved my issue and i shifted my docker to Linux.
Solution 2: Workaround!
$ sudo bash
$ mkdir /etc/gcrypt
$ echo all >> /etc/gcrypt/hwf.deny
After applying this setting run
$ sudo apt-get update
Now the above workaround solves the update issues, as MD5sum matches while updating, but i found my git commands to break and throw errors.
