Update Kali Linux 2017.1 via repository

I came to a peculiar situation when I tried to update Kali Linux 2017.1 via terminal. It shows me "Reading package lists... Done".

Then I navigate "sources.list" file to check if the repository in present or not. And, found the link to the repository was missing.



I added the repository link and saved the file.

And, then I tried to update Kali Linux 2017.1 via terminal and I was taking update.

Further I typed upgrade command and it worked too.
