Problem installing tor on Kali Linux

I’m trying to install tor on my Kali Linux 2016.1 (kali-rolling). When I type apt-get install tor in Terminal, this error appears:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package tor 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 'tor' has no installation candidate

How can I fix this and install tor?

UPD:

I tried this: http://www.blackmoreops.com/2013/12/16/installing-tor-kali-linux/ – I added deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org wheezy main to sources file, but it didn’t help at all, so I deleted this string and now it’s in a default condition

Method 1

I found the solution:

Firstly, I ran:

echo -e "deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contribndeb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list

and then

apt-get update
apt-get update --fix-missing

After this Tor was installed normally with apt-get install tor.
