Summary	0004804: lsb-core Package Not Available
Description	Hello, This is a request to have Kali include the lsb-core apt module. Other tools depend on it (like the lmutil used by IDA Pro for licensing). Currently: root@kali-vm:~# apt install lsb-core Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package lsb-core is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'lsb-core' has no installation candidate My Kali details (on the latest): oot@kali-vm:~# uname -a Linux tuv-kali-vm 4.16.0-kali2-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 4.16.12-1kali1 (2018-05-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux root@kali-vm:~# cat /proc/version Linux version 4.16.0-kali2-amd64 ([email protected]) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Debian 7.3.0-19)) 0000001 SMP Debian 4.16.12-1kali1 (2018-05-28)

rhertzog 2018-06-18 10:06 administrator ~0009270	lsb-core has been deprecated for a long time in Debian: It happened in August 2015: https://tracker.debian.org/news/707835/accepted-lsb-920150826-source-into-unstable/ In August 2017 the small compat layer kept around was dropped: https://tracker.debian.org/news/861528/accepted-lsb-920170807-source-into-unstable/ LSB is a dead-end (it has not been updated in years). You should find some other solution as this package won't reappear.
