same here |
 |
But powershell is not provided by Debian or Kali, so there's not much that we can do here unless we package it for Kali (in that case it would be compiled with the correct library versions). |
 |
I submitted this issue to powershell on github to see if they can help but powershell for Kali is only supported by the Kali community not them. They also stated that PowerShell Core no longer has a dependency on libcurl 0006964. However, even when you download the latest powershell package from github it still states libcurl3 is required. Attached Github issue I have reported: |
 |
The below package does not have the libcurl3 requirement and works with libcurl4: powershell-preview/stretch,now 6.1.0~rc.1-1.debian.9 amd64 |
|
|
Testing that now @securitywaffle |
|
|
Hmm that did not work either when I downloaded in from stretch. Gonna try the other two versions root@DKali:~/Desktop# dpkg -i powershell-preview_6.1.0~rc.1-1.deb root@Kali:~/Desktop# pwsh |
|

Alright so I tested all of the powershell/powershell preview packages in jessie and stretch. The powershell packages in jessie and in stretch all failed because they need libcurl3 to install. However, the powershell preview packages in jessie and stretch actually worked and did not need libcurl3 to install. In case you want to install powershell I recommend to use this package: powershell-preview_6.1.0~preview.3-1.deb Link: https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-debian-jessie-prod/pool/main/p/powershell-preview/ Once you have installed the package you can then update it to powershell-preview_6.1.0~rc.1-1.deb. Do not try to install powershell-preview_6.1.0~rc.1-1.deb without 3-1.deb (For some reason rc.1-1 would install but when you execute "pwsh" to run powershell it would fail). I am attaching the results that I have done for all of the debian powershell packages as proof and hopefully Microsoft will give us an update on why the actual packages are still supporting libcurl3. I hope this helps for now :D. -TJNull |

pwsh-preview is the command for the version of powershell I recommended. |
|
|
@TJNull, If I recall correctly, Powershell Core 6.0 depends on dotnet core 2.0 which doesn't support libcurl4. Powershell Core 6.1 was moved to dotnet core 2.1.1 which requires libcurl4 and this change was never backported. |
|
|
@securitywaffle I did not know you could do pwsh-preview and I will go through the testing again for the preview packages but I think they should both work. Here is also what I got from microsoft about libcurl: PSCore6.0.x depends on .NET Core 2.0.x which DOES depend on libcurl. PSCore6.1 depends on .NET Core 2.1.x which does NOT depend on libcurl. So I am still trying to understand why does the debian packages ask for libcurl3 and not libcurl4? |

Re-ran the tests for powershell preview packages from Jessie and Stretch and they work fine on Kali Linux 2018.3. Attached Results below: |
 |
Issue resolved with version 6.1.0-1.debian.9 updated today. |
|

@fl0 Verified and confirmed the updated powershell works now in Kali Linux: Both packages in Stretch and Jessie work on Kali 2018.3 Stretch:powershell_6.1.0-1.deb 13-Sep-2018 00:34 58286110 |
