Summary	0009248: Dependency problem when building kali-live
Description	Dear maintainers, when building my own kali-live with my added package-list, the build crashes due to dependency problems. This is the last output of buuld.log: --- snip --- (Reading database ... 7851 files and directories currently installed.) Removing dctrl-tools (2.24-3+b1) ... (Reading database ... 7810 files and directories currently installed.) Purging configuration files for dctrl-tools (2.24-3+b1) ... Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... [2025-07-14 09:44:48] lb chroot_install-packages install P: Begin installing packages (install pass)... Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... systemd-sysv is already the newest version (257.7-1). Solving dependencies... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: grub-common : Depends: libfuse3-4 (>= 3.17.2) but 3.17.1~rc1-3 is to be installed Recommends: os-prober (>= 1.33) but it is not going to be installed guestfish : Depends: libguestfs0t64 (= 1:1.54.1-2+b1) but it is not installable guestmount : Depends: libguestfs0t64 (= 1:1.54.1-2+b1) but it is not installable libguestfs-tools : Depends: libguestfs0t64 (= 1:1.54.1-2+b1) but it is not installable Depends: guestfs-tools but it is not installable vmdb2 : Depends: qemu-utils but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. E: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions: libfuse3-4:amd64=3.17.2-2 is not selected for install libfuse3-4:amd64=3.17.2-2 is selected for install because: vmdb2:amd64=0.40-2 is selected for install vmdb2:amd64 Depends qemu-utils qemu-utils:amd64 Depends libfuse3-4 (>= 3.17.2) E: An unexpected failure occurred, exiting...

Build of kali-rolling/xfce/amd64 live image failed (see build.log for details) --- snap --- It would be nice, if you could take a look at this. If you could fix it, please also take a look at the same issue for i386 (yes, I know, i386 will be abandoned soon, but please do though). Thanks for reading this! Best regards Hans

vanguard 2025-07-15 09:08 reporter ~0020735	Created a fresh live-build tree from git to avoid mistakes by my build environment. But same issue again: The build crashes! So it looks like the problem can not fixed by me (except I avoid adding the packages into my live-file, what I do not want). I am not sure, you are teling the path changed: "Project 'kalilinux/build-scripts/live-build-config' was moved to 'kalilinux/build-scripts/kali-live'. Please update any links and bookmarks that may still have the old path.", but the docu says: git clone https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/build-scripts/live-build-config.git Should'n it be now: git clone https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/build-scripts/kali-live.git Maybe you could enlighten me along with this issue, too. Best Hans
