Wash Rinse Repeat..lol a cycle maybe this is due to the name of the python-distorm3 not equaling to "distorm3" which is a prerequirment of the forensic metapackage.

Sorry for this, we had prepared updated kali-linux-* meta-packages for python-distorm3 but somehow they have not been uploaded.

I uploaded them now and you will shortly have a fixed kali-linux-forensic (1.55.22).
