Ubuntu Software Centre Installation Client not found: Kali Linux

Asked by gamebusternin

I downloaded the installation package for the Ubuntu Software Centre, and did every list of commands on the internet to install it and none of it worked (at least not completly)
Error:
sudo apt-get install software-center
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package software-center is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'software-center' has no installation candidate

@bashing-om:
The link does not work and there is no 16.04 of software center because Ubuntu OS came first, then came the software center. But, I downloaded the latest anyway.- Thanks

Kali Linux is not supported by the Ubuntu community. It's support is entirely separate from Ubuntu's.
None of the "Ubuntu based" distributions are supported here.

I suggest you post on the Kali forum: https://forums.kali.org/
