Summary0003982: A collection of issues with the 2017.1 release
Description

Noticed some small problems around/with the new release and collected them into this report.

First, the 'text installer' coming with the new iso cannot find any -sources- when it asks for checking for updates/package upd. Therefor I've got to use "continue without checking mirror" and the mirrors also do not place itself in the "/etc/apt/sources.list" (may cause panic to some.. people.. who cant handle it) - tried 4 times on 2 different computers reproducing this one.

Second, python (pip) are missing some deps:

  • "pip check" output:

    wafw00f 0.9.3 has requirement beautifulsoup4==4.3.2, but you have beautifulsoup4 4.5.3.
    pysnmp 4.3.2 requires pysmi, which is not installed.
    jsbeautifier 1.6.4 requires editorconfig, which is not installed.
    Cheetah 2.4.4 requires Markdown, which is not installed.

    The beautifulsoup4 dep are having some extended 'issues' that i did not do anything with yet, but the rest is a easy fix.

  • Third, CPAN should be upgraded from v2.1101 to v2.16.

  • Last but maybe the most important (for some), is the outdated "wifite" which almost doesn't work at all anymore (anything but scanning for ssids without wps check even), but with several patches picked up (3 from binkybear) and put together, we got a FULLY working wifite again @ it is available on http://github.com/kimocoder/wifite-ng for anyone to pick up & use. The official maintainer "derv82" seems to have abandoned/being inactive regarding "wifite" for a couple of years now and just the 'option removals/changes' from tshark & reaver breaks some code.

I see the problem of it not coming from the official repo & all creds to derv82 for making this amazing tool, but It is almost useless these days.

Additional Information

I'm really sorry for bothering you with all this. I really am -- but I just have to summon for these changes, at least maybe some of them?

-- best regards & have a great weekend, Devs!

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x/2017.1), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
