Description

I found an issue when installing kali nethunter. The install-nethunter-termux script is looking for a file named kalifs... but that naming convention isn't used in nethunter-images/current/rootfs/ Is there a fix for this?
It is looking for https://kali.download/nethunter-images/current/rootfs/kalifs-arm64-full.tar.gx However the file the script should be looking for is https://kali.download/nethunter-images/current/rootfs/kali-nethunter-rootfs-full-arm64.tar.xz

The document is for the 202402 version of nethunter and when it was merged, this file wasn't updated.
On line 107, if you change this
IMAGE_NAME=kalifs-${SYS_ARCH}-${wimg}.tar.xz
to this
IMAGE_NAME=kali-nethunter-rootfs-${wimg}-${SYS_ARCH}.tar.xz
It will get past that bug.
But if you do that because of sha sum the new error is generated

If you do that you have to also change the download of the sha512sum if you modified the ${URL} just look for the getsha() and change it from whatever path it's on to ${URL}.sha512sum
