Summary0009555: Missing package kismet-capture-rtladsb
Description

Hello,
The package kismet-capture-rtladsb seems to be non existent.
I dont have a good knowledge of how packaging works, but it looks like it is a configuration issue because the source is already present here
https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/kismet/-/tree/kali/master/capture_sdr_rtlamr
but no .deb is generated in the artifacts
https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/kismet/-/jobs/12937275274/artifacts/browse/debian/output/
Thanks

Sorry, I copy pasted the wrong package name.

The package which seems to not be created is kismet-capture-rtlamr.

The package kismet-capture-rtladsb is OK.

The package kismet-capture-rtladsb is not built because the build has been disabled by upstream.

See https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/kismet/-/blob/kali/master/Makefile.in line 364

Ok, I see. Thank you.
I think they do not support this module anymore because it is written in python and they only accept C : https://www.kismetwireless.net/posts/kismet-2025-09-r1/#biggest-changes
I was mislead by their doc still advertising it : https://www.kismetwireless.net/docs/readme/datasources/meter-sdrrtlamr/
Sorry
