FTR: zeek FTBFS because of missing build-deps libbroker-dev.

The package libbroker-dev is no longer in debian testing because FTBFS (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037597)

I understand that means libroker-dev fails to build from source in Debian.

I assume if I try to build zeek from source the dependency problem will be there too, so no zeek in Kali?
Is there something I can do?

Thanks for your help

Zeek provides their own binary repository as mentioned in this Zeek Community post from November 2022: https://community.zeek.org/t/zeek-removed-from-debian-kali/6799
Here is the link to the mentioned github page: https://github.com/zeek/zeek/wiki/Binary-Packages
I was able to get it installed using the Debian Testing instructions from the github page.

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/zeek/Debian_Testing/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/security:zeek.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:zeek/Debian_Testing/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/security_zeek.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zeek

It installed various dependencies but only the zeek packages and the libbroker-dev package seemed to come from the OpenSuse repository.

It installed under /opt/zeek and isn't in my path, but it's there and it works.
