Summary0003187: Kali linux ARM | Metapackages won't download
Description

I have a Raspberry Pi 2b with a 16 GB micro Sd card, so i wanted to download some tools, because without them you almost can't do anything with Linux penetration testing, after letting it download and going through some questions, it gives a few errors on the end (see image), and I still have zero tools.
I already asked this a few times on the Kali forums but after a few days I still had no answers that helped me, so i wanted to try this.

Steps To Reproduce

apt-get update
apt-get kali-Linux-full

  • You need to go through some questions, like your password (I just type toor in there)

  • Errors -

The errors say that there is no space left, but if kali Linux = 1.5 GB, and the metapackages = 9 gb
it should fit in a 16 GB right?
when plugging in my SD card in my PC it says 61 / 61 MB
do I need anything like a SD formattor?

Please read the error messages before submitting bug reports... it's written "No space left on device", it means that your disk is full.

Obviously installing packages fails in those conditions...

BTW, it really depends on how your SD card has been partitioned... but please go get some help elsewhere. Learn about the basics (df, du) to inspect disk space and disk usage. There's no bug here.
