wmi-client and wmis share "/usr/bin/wmis" and they both depend on kali-linux-everything So if you delete wmi-client, you'll delete kali-linux-everything metapackage! Kali team, can you fix this please ? |
|
|
The wmis package is deprecated, doesn't work anymore. It has been replaced by wmi-client, which include both /usr/bin/wmis and /usr/bin/wmic Either you drop wmis or you patch it with a different binary name like /usr/bin/wmis-client |
|
|
I can report now that this works with: sudo apt --fix-broken install if the package was already installed. Should also work when installing. |

|
This issue is fixed, so closing the bug, thank you for the report! |
