Summary	0009430: kali live crash at build
Description	Dear maintainers, the kali live build crashes due to the change of a name in package "memtest86+". The problem is in the file "binary", where the MEMTEST variable is named "memtest86+", which was correct since then. But as the package maintainers of package "memtest86+" renamed the binary inside zto "mt86+x64", it can not be found and the build crashes. Did you already fix it in the file "bianry" of the git tree? If so, please drop me an andvice, how to renew it (instead of correcting it manually). In the past the comand "git pull origin master" renewd all the needed files automatically. This is also not working any more for a long time. It wpould be nice, if you could give me a clue, what the succesor command of this command is now. Thank you very much for looking at this little bug.

vanguard 2025-12-10 11:39 reporter ~0021005	The problem is more complex than I thought. It is not possible to edit the "binary" file and others, because they will be overwritten during the build process. As already mentioned, the root of the problem is, that the developers of the package "memtest86+" renamed the packed files, so the serched files can not be found any more. I checked the chroot files and the build.log is correct, please see the output of the build.log: ---- snip ---- ...... .....
