When I try to install all kali tools with option "0" I get this error ::

Reading package lists... Done

How do I fix this?

I encountered only this:
winexe : Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2kali1)
I use Debian 8

How do we solve this?

Does this need to be repointed at the new Kali rolling repository?

It's very unstable to install Kali Tools in Ubuntu or any Ubuntu based OS. As Kali is based on Debian (Jessie). If you want to use Kali Tools you have several options.

1: Install Kali as your Main OS.
2: Install Kali in Virtual Box. (But for some tools you will need external Wi-Fi adapter.Because virtual box will not allow Kali to direct interact with Hardware.)
3: Install any Debian (jessie) based OS (Point Linux) and use Katoolin.There is No Broken Packages, No Dependency issue with Katoolin on Point Linux. All the tools will install perfectly.
