fairycn 2020-09-28 15:25 reporter ~0013505	When you choose to update all, if there is a dependency that is not satisfied, all of which cannot be updated, it is recommended to skip the program with unsatisfied dependencies and proceed to the next installation when updating all.

fairycn 2020-09-28 15:36 reporter ~0013506	Update kali to "Linux kali 5.7.0-kali1-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 5.7.6-1kali2 (2020-07-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux", which solves the problems of Discover crash and inability to select all and non-select all, But still unresolved: When you choose to update all, there is a program that is not satisfied and the update fails and other updates cannot be performed. Suggestion: When you encounter all programs with unsatisfactory dependencies, replace them at the end of the update directory, and continue to update the next program. Install this order first to update the dependencies that are satisfied, so that because the software has been updated, the previous dependencies are not satisfied. It can also be updated. The update program has been manually screened, and the dependent conditions are updated first to expand the dependent conditions to satisfy the previously unsatisfied conditions, and the results have been updated. And found a new problem: when the Discover link update service failed to run for the first time, it prompted: "Unable to load the application, please check the network", but click the update button here, the update service resumes and you can link to the update server 4.png (164,600 bytes) 4.png (164,600 bytes)
