Summary0001258: Unable to install QEMU - Missing packages from repository
Description

I'm running Kali linux on my android phone. I used Linux Deploy app.

I cannot install Qemu due to many unmet dependencies.

My source.list has no other repositories except the default.

Thanks for the report, I imported from wheezy-backports the missing packages: openbios-ppc, openbios-sparc and qemu-slof. qemu should again be installable.
