Hi, thanks for the report. I can reproduce the issue. Looking at the installer logs, I can see what's the issue:
<pre>
hw-detect: detected virtualization 'vmware' (with systemd-detect-virt)
finish-install: dpkg-query: no packages found matching task-desktop
finish-install: dpkg-divert: warning: diverting file '/sbin/start-stop-daemon' from an Essential package with rename is dangerous, use --no-rename

in-target: The following additional packages will be installed:
in-target: ethtool fuse3 libatkmm-1.6-1v5 libcairomm-1.0-1v5 libfuse3-3
in-target: libglibmm-2.4-1v5 libgtkmm-3.0-1v5 libmspack0 libpangomm-1.4-1v5
in-target: libsigc++-2.0-0v5 open-vm-tools zerofree
in-target: Suggested packages:
in-target: cloud-init
in-target: The following packages will be REMOVED:
in-target: fuse
in-target: The following NEW packages will be installed:
in-target: ethtool fuse3 libatkmm-1.6-1v5 libcairomm-1.0-1v5 libfuse3-3
in-target: libglibmm-2.4-1v5 libgtkmm-3.0-1v5 libmspack0 libpangomm-1.4-1v5
in-target: libsigc++-2.0-0v5 open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop zerofree
in-target: 0 upgraded, 13 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
in-target: E: Packages need to be removed but remove is disabled.
</pre>
The last line explains why the installer refuses to install open-vm-tools. It needs to install fuse3, which means uninstall fuse, and that's not allowed.
This is a change that came with open-vm-tools 11.3.5 (January 2022). Before that, open-vm-tools depended on fuse, which was already installed, so it was Ok. |

Hi, I documented the issue thoroughly at https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/kali-meta/-/issues/15, and I just uploaded a fix in kali-desktop-core 2022.3.9. If we're lucky it will make it to the next weekly image, available on Monday.
I'm closing this issue then, thanks for reporting it! |
