Summary	0008865: log2timeline fails to run due to outdated Python packages
Description	I tested this on both a used and a fresh Kali 2024.2 installation. Pics are from the fresh installation. I tried running log2timeline, but it gave me the error message in the first picture. Several Python packages are out of date, and log2timeline refuses to use them. I tried upgrading the listed packages via "pip install libesedb-python --upgrade", but then got the syntax error in the third picture.

We will look into bumping the packages, but those may be packages that we get from debian and don't actually package ourselves, and version bump requests might be required to be submitted to Debian.
