Summary	0007516: bind9-libs causes dpkg errors that prevent installation of other packages, causes apt failures afterwards
Description	Installing bind9-libs either directly or as a dependency causes issues with dpkg and the apt database.
Steps To Reproduce	1) Setup minimal base OS (I used debian 11 minimal as a starting point, I have my reasons). 2) Set apt sources.list as kali-rolling `echo "deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list` 3) Install bind9-libs `apt install -y bind9-libs`

linuxkd 2021-12-28 14:52 reporter ~0015574	This section was slightly wrong in my original post, there should not be a period in the first line, this is the corrected version The only working method of removing the blocker that I have found that works every time sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/bind9-libs* sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq bind9-libs sudo apt-get remove bind9-libs sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean

linuxkd 2021-12-28 15:22 reporter ~0015576	Dug a little further, here is some more relevant information. dpkg version info dpkg/kali-rolling,now 1.20.9kali1 amd64 [installed] root@ip-172-31-0-223:~/work1# dpkg --version Debian 'dpkg' package management program version 1.20.9 (amd64).

arnaudr 2021-12-30 07:53 manager ~0015583	Hello. I can't reproduce this issue when I build a Kali OS from scratch. It seems that the issue is really due to your setup, ie. starting from a Debian OS and then transforming it into Kali. It would be better to NOT do that !! This is not supported, and it's a recipe for tears and sorrow. Out of curiosity, why not just starting from a minimal Kali OS (it's easy with debootstrap) ? Otherwise, if you insist on doing that, you can have a look here: https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/tools/kali-ci-autopkgtest-lxc/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml#L53-75 This is a place where we do that, ie. start from a Debian min OS and transform it into Kali afterward. In short: update sources.list (what you already did) install the kali keyring dist-upgrade (that should bring in Kali's fork of dpkg) check that there's now a file /etc/dpkg/origins/kali then fix the vendor symlink with: rm -f $ROOTDIR/etc/dpkg/origins/default ln -sf kali $ROOTDIR/etc/dpkg/origins/default From this point, I guess it should fix your problem. But there might be more issues down the road waiting for you, because this is just NOT the right way to bootstrap a Kali image.

linuxkd 2021-12-30 14:10 reporter ~0015587	Thank you very much for the detailed response, and noted on the forums bit.

arnaudr 2021-12-31 01:43 manager ~0015590	No worries, I'm closing this issue then. Have a nice day and happy new year!
