Kali Linux Fix Unable to Locate Package Fixed

You may have an issue with your /etc/apt/sources.list file which is where the apt command looks for the installation of new packages. According to the Kali official docs:

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.

You can try making a backup of your current sources.list file then creating a new one with the "default" source entry. You'll need to run these as root/with sudo:
cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
then:
echo "deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib" /etc/apt/sources.list
Now try running sudo apt update. If that completes successfully, try installing your package again. See the link above for additional information that may be useful depending on your exact Kali release.
