Summary | 0009231: Osinfo-db in kali-rolling provides outdated database | ||||
Description | Hi everyone, this is my first post here so I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm killdash9, I've been working on creating a Mac VM, and ran into this issue, the osinfo-db in the kali-rolling repo seems to be providing extremely outdated database info, most current I saw was 10.7 Lion, so 2011~? I confirmed this on a fully updated kali-rolling system. The reproduce steps are:
Query the DB for macOS profiles Thanks for reading. | ||||
You can check the version of the package:
It's from January 2025, not exactly latest, but not from 2011 either. We get this package from Debian, I noticed that in Debian unstable there is a newer version This being said, I doubt it will solve your problem, I don't think there will be any significant changes between the two versions. Maybe check upstream, eg. this issue: https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/issues/113 ? I'm closing the ticket as this is not an issue in Kali itself, in this case you should see with upstream directly. |
