Additional Information

after getting this error i think if i try to install all the depending and required packages independently, but as i try to install them one by one , i discover ; they are layered dependencies that each of the packages specified required ; and in some ways , some of the libraries are installed but apt keep claiming they are not going to be installed. any help is appreciated... thanks.

Thank you for your interest in Kali but this bug report is not actionable. Please read https://kali.training/chapter-6/filing-a-good-bug-report/ first. We are a small team and we expect you to provide a much more detailed bug report.

Once you have done the necessary research (possibly with the help of the community on http://forums.kali.org or on IRC #kali-linux on irc.freenode.net), feel free to re-open this bug with more information or to open a new report.

Please have a look at the Kali Linux Revealed book, it will give you hints on how to deal with the package managers.

Fixing dependencies is like this:

apt update

apt -f install

If you have errors in this step, then you need to find out the reason and try to fix them. But this is really "user support" questions and not "bug" material... so please go seek help on forums/IRC and not here. Thank you.
