Summary	0005190: libgnutls30-3.6.5-2 breaks http transport
Description	libgnutls30-3.6.5-2 after last kali upgrade results to the following error: relocation error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.30:symbol nettle_rsa_sec_decrypt version HOGWEED_4 not defined in file libhogweed.so.4 with link time reference The bug is of major importance as it seems to break all http transport requests which use the gnutls30 library and makes the system totally unusable. The only solution I got to was to downgrade to the previous package version of libgnutls (libgnutls30-3.5.19) and installing it manually using dpkg. However, if you try to upgrade anything in the current state it would report libgnutls30 is incorrect version: apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: apt : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed glib-networking : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed ldap-utils : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed libavformat58 : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed libgnutls-dane0 : Depends: libgnutls30 (= 3.6.5-2) but 3.5.19-1 is installed libgnutls-openssl27 : Depends: libgnutls30 (= 3.6.5-2) but 3.5.19-1 is installed libgnutls30 : Breaks: libgnutls30:i386 (!= 3.5.19-1) but 3.6.5-2 is installed libgnutls30:i386 : Breaks: libgnutls30 (!= 3.6.5-2) but 3.5.19-1 is installed libgnutlsxx28 : Depends: libgnutls30 (= 3.6.5-2) but 3.5.19-1 is installed libldap-2.4-2 : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed libvte-2.91-0 : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed systemd : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed vino : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed vlc-plugin-base : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed wget : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.6.5) but 3.5.19-1 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution). In order for apt to let you upgrade anything you have to upgrade libgnutls30 which results in the above issue and it's a closed circle. There's a similar issue in fedora reported here: https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?320208-F29-No-network-after-kernel-upgrade&p=1816934#post1816934 Can anyone confirm this can be reproduced and will be packed properly?
Steps To Reproduce	upgrade to the latest kali libgnutls30 package (3.6.5-2) either using apt-get upgrade or manually using apt-get install libgnutls

kburke15 2019-01-04 20:57 reporter ~0010162	I think I am having the same problem as you. Is it saying that it can't find your wifi adapter too? I know it has something to do with the update because the wifi adapter worked perfectly before the update, and now after the update, it doesn't work at all. This is definitely a serious problem that I hope the developers get to.

kburke15 2019-01-04 21:10 reporter ~0010163	Never mind, I am not having the same issue you are having. It seems when they coded the update for the operating system, it gave everyone different problems.

private 2019-01-05 00:23 reporter ~0010164	The issue was resolved by deleting all instances of libhogweed.so.4, then downgrading to the previous version of libgnutls30 (so that I can get http transport requests to work), and then use apt-get --fix-broken install to install the new libgnutls30 package and its proper dependencies matching the libhogweed4 and libnettle6 package versions. It seems that the issue was caused due to libhogweed.so.4 being in all possible lib paths and the new package not overriding all the files, thus some of them which are still in the PATH environment variable were used by libgnutls binaries which seem to lack the nettle_rsa_sec_decrypt function. Solution: 1) locate libhogweed.so.4 2) rm {/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libhogweed.so.4,/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libhogweed.so.4.5,/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhogweed.so.4,/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhogweed.so.4.5 3) dpkg -i libgnutls30_3.5.19-1_amd64.deb libgnutls30_3.5.19-1_i386.deb (or dpkg -i libgnutls30_3.5.19-1+b1_amd64.deb libgnutls30_3.5.19-1+b1_i386.deb) (download the necessary package from http://http.kali.org/pool/main/g/gnutls28/) 4) apt-get --fix-broken install 5) You may need to tweak around with dpkg and the packages involved: libnettle6, libhogweed4, libgnutls30), if something does not work downgrade to the previous version some of them to get the network up.

g0tmi1k 2019-09-04 12:36 administrator ~0010997	Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling <= 2018.4), these legacy versions are no longer supported. We will be closing this ticket due to inactivity. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing, and also give information about your setup?
