Summary0002994: John the Ripper Fails to Run
Description

John the Ripper (john) and its utilities (i.e. unshadow) fail to run and display the following message:

root@kali:~# john
Sorry, XOP is required for this build

root@kali:~# unshadow
Sorry, XOP is required for this build

Additional Information

This is running on kali-rolling amd64:

root@kali:~# uname -a
Linux kali 4.3.0-kali1-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 4.3.3-5kali2 (2016-01-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

It seems that this is a somewhat-known issue in that it has at least appeared before:

Do you have this with kali-rolling and john 1.8.0.6-jumbo-1-0kali6 ?

Because this bug is sort of expected with 1.8.0.6-jumbo-1-0kali2 in sana but it has been fixed with 1.8.0.6-jumbo-1-0kali3.

Bah, I can reproduce it on Kali Rolling. I'm sure I had tested this when I added the fallback machinery. I will investigate...

Fixed in john_1.8.0.6-jumbo-1-0kali7.dsc that I just uploaded to kali-dev.

It turns out I fixed it in kali3 but broke it again in kali6 with some simple cleanups made in debian/rules....
