Summary0005624: Can't install PowerShell on Kali 2019.2
Description

Hi, I have Kali Linux 2019.2 64-bit on VMware and Windows 10 Host. I am trying to install PowerShell. Here are my errors...I've tried aptitude and synaptic. Neither worked. Can anyone take a look and fix this? Please reply. Thanks

UPDATE
I tried installing clean on VMware. I thought I had it figured out but didn't. See if this info helps...I entered "echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-debian-stretch-prod stretch main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/powershell.list apt update" on the first install with the errors. So I tried 2 separate:
"echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-debian-stretch-prod stretch main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/powershell.list"

And
"apt update". (2 separate not one together.) I still get the error below after "apt install -y powershell". Any ideas???

Hi nethunter,

Download the lib from: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/icu/libicu57_57.1-9_amd64.deb
#dpkg -i libicu57_57.1-9_amd64.deb

Try to install the powershell again.

Looks like there is something broken to download the right pkg.
I just reproduced the issue and its working fine now.

The libicu57 worked. I have PowerShell now. Thanks for the help!
