Apt update parrot.list not installing

*Removed anonsurf,and dnstool as it was not starting on boot. Including, their packages.
Trying to reinstall both of them. Will not update with the various mirrors in etc/apt/sourceslist.d/parrot.list. Other country mirrors don’t make difference. Is there a format to enter the mirrors? Or, does the entire os have to be reinstalled from usb stick?

  • ParrotOS iso in use:

  • Application used for flashing the iso:

  • Logs/Terminal output (use pastebin or similar services):

  • Screenshots:

If you are using Parrot 4.11 then you need to upgrade to Parrot 5

Sudo SU
Sudo Apt Update
Sudo Apt full-upgrade

I would reinstall after backing up with another .iso , check the sum always. Good luck
