Summary0008000: Weekly AMD64 ISOs fail to install
Description

Default installation with the current AMD64 ISOs in https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-weekly fails (https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-weekly/kali-linux-2022-W40-installer-amd64.iso & https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-weekly/kali-linux-2022-W41-installer-amd64.iso)

Here are the error messages from /var/log/syslog:

I verified both SHA1 and SHA256 checksums before installation.

I can provide the whole /var/log/syslog if needed.

Steps To Reproduce

Initiate a default installation with the current AMD64 ISOs in https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-weekly (https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-weekly/kali-linux-2022-W40-installer-amd64.iso & https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-weekly/kali-linux-2022-W41-installer-amd64.iso), i.e., do not change the default settings on "Software selection" page, in VMWare Fusion Pro 12.2.4 (20071091).

Can you provide the error from /var/log/syslog please? There's a known issue, I would expect to see this kind of error:

<pre>
Oct 10 18:55:41 in-target: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Oct 10 18:55:41 in-target: king-phisher : Depends: python3-matplotlib (>= 1.4.3) but it is not installable
Oct 10 18:55:41 in-target: Recommends: python3-mpltoolkits.basemap (>= 1.0.7) but it is not installable
</pre>

Or

<pre>
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3-fonttools : Depends: python3-unicodedata2 (>= 14.0.0) but it is not installable or
python3-all (>= 3.11.0) but 3.10.6-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
</pre>

We just fixed it today, so the next weekly image (next Monday) should be Ok.

Please check if it's indeed this error in your syslog. If it's not, I'd appreciate to if you could provide the file. Thanks!

Ack, thanks for your confirmation.

So if you're in a rush, you can download a daily image, it should be fixed. Download it from https://archive.kali.org/kali-daily-images/. Make sure that the date is Oct 12 (build is in progress at the moment, and today's images were not uploaded yet). If you do so, please confirm that the problem is fixed!

Otherwise you can just wait for the the next weekly image to be released, next Monday.

Oh well, the daily build failed (but for other reasons), will have to wait tomorrow for a fixed daily image, sorry about that

No problem at all, I already installed using the net installer image. I had just wanted to point out the problem.

Ok, that's nice, thanks for taking the time!

I'm closing this issue since it's fixed in daily images and it will be fixed in the next weekly.
