dookie 2013-10-03 20:16 reporter ~0000939	Ferret has had issues before on 64bit and it clearly has them again. Please report this to the developer's bug tracker: https://code.google.com/p/ferret/issues/list In the meantime, amd64 has been removed as an available architecture for the ferret-sidejack package in ferret-sidejack_3.0.1-1kali7. Thanks for the report.
