Summary0000340: live-build crashes due to dependency problem in kali
Description

Dear maintainers,

it is not possible to build kali linux, as live-build crashes due to a dependency problem.

Full log is attached. I tried to add kali-linux manually, then openvas is needed. If would be nice, if you could take a look at that problem and improve the repo.

Thank you very much!

Best regards

Hans

Update.
Actions and results:

  • Action: added entry kali-menu in kali.list.chroot

  • Result: crashes, missing "gsd"

  • Action: added gsd in kali.list.chroot

  • Result: crashes, missing "libopenvas5"

  • Action: added libopenvas5 into kali.list.chroot

  • Result: crashes, missing greenbone-security-assistant, openvas-cli, openvas-manager, openvas-scanner, openvas-administrator.

Also a restart of lb build does NOT work, as it mourns about missing dctl-tools.
This package is installed, but deinstalled during the live-build process.

IMO there is a big, big dependency problem with kali.

Strange: When I chroot into the chroot of live-build, I can easy install all required packagaes with aptitude by hand.

Hope this helps.

Update:
I added all required packages for now, but with no success. At the moment, I am stuck! The package openvas needs libopenvas5, but the package gsd wants libopenvas6. So I added them both(!) in kali.list.chroot, but this doesn't work.

It also does not work, to add either libopenvas5 or libopenvas6 into the list.

So I found no trick aka workaround to solve the dependency problem for now. The dependency problem should be solved in the repository somehow.

It would be nice, if you could take a look at it.

Thank you very much!

Best regards

Hans

Hi Vanguard,

it's the same issue as 0000354, the problem even on a fresh install, before you clone git or build anything, if you try to apt kali-linux-full you get the same errors,

  • kali-linux,
  • openVas,
  • until gsd which installs fine.

When you go back to install openvas again you get a dependency greenbone-security-assistant when I install it, it removes the gsd.

and openvas will again ask for gsd. if you install it again it deletes the greenbone and there the loop stays between these two packages.

ect...which says we have held broken packages which can't be true unless the fresh install is broken.

And you are right btw, the openvas 5 and 6 seems to be needed at the same time. and that seems to be the problem.

cheers,

Uo,

Here is a pastebin of my exact steps on a fresh install of kali 32-bit in VMware. Hope this helps with investigation and resolution of this issue! In the meantime I guess I am going back to Backtrack 5 r3

Any idea when this might be fixed or even acknowledged?

The issue was that the updated openvas was partially moved into Kali and some required bits were left in kali-proposed-updates. The remaining packages have been moved to the main repository and the live-build are working fine lately.

At least http://archive.kali.org/kali-daily-images/kali-daily/ shows recent builds that succeeded.
