| Summary | 0004137: hostapd-wpe 2.6+git20170713-0kali1 fails to install due to obsolete openssl gendh command | ||||
| Description | Using the current kali-rolling as of 2017-08-08, the package hostapd-wpe fails to install. I'm running on Intel amd64, in a VMware virtual machine. This causes a new installation from the kali-rolling repository to fail during the package installation section. Hence I've assigned this a high priority. See the attached screenshot. This issue appears to be present in hostapd-wpe_2.6+git20161107-0kali2_amd64.deb It did not appear to be present in hostapd-wpe_2.6+git20161107-0kali2_amd64.deb | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Ensure hostapd-wpe is completely removed # apt-get purge hostapd-wpe 2. Update the package list # apt-get update 3. Install the latest version of hostapd-wpe # apt-get install hostapd-wpe The installation should fail with: "Invalid command 'gendh'; type "help" for a list." | ||||
