Please output the repository list of your machine;

/etc/apt/sources.list

Make sure it has the following inside;

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

Then clean your apt-get

apt-get clean

Make an update

apt-get update

And upgrade

apt-get upgrade

And finally make a dist upgrade

apt-get dist-upgrade

Then try again to install once more, hope it helps
