Summary	0004481: mini.iso netboot installer fails with "Loading libc6-udeb failed for unknown reasons. Aborting"
Description	Shamelessly copying description from issue 0003417, which behaves exactly the same way (I can't vouch for the segfaults, as I don't have the debug console set up): When trying to boot off the most recent netboot install, the install fails giving a "Loading libc6-udeb failed for unknown reasons. Aborting" message. After this point, all available menu steps fail on themselves. Using a separate ptty to get a dump fails as it won't open a new terminal (just repeats "Please Press Enter to activate this console". I'm using the mini.iso build, dated 2018-01-09 14:43, installing on an ESXi 5.5 VM. Let me know if there's anything else I need to collect.
Steps To Reproduce	Start install from netboot image. Proceed through the root password confirmation step. Error

rhertzog 2018-01-15 13:44 administrator ~0007817	Yes, a new libc6 reached Kali and it broke the mini.iso. I have scheduled a build of the debian-installer images to fix this. 20180109+kali1+b1 is the new version being built, once you see it in https://http.kali.org/dists/kali-dev/main/installer-amd64/ you can download an updated mini.iso.
