Summary0009718: Building of kali-live suddenly fails due to missing packages
Description

Dear maintainers,

since yesterday the build of kali live is crashing. Reason is the missing of some packages. I suppose, these can be easily fixed. This is the last entry in build.log:

We have some caching issues with kali.download, please don't use it for now.

Either use http.kali.org (our redirector service), or a particular mirror close-by, check the list at https://http.kali.org/README?mirrorstats (double-click on the map to zoom in).

Hopefully we manage to fix this issue before end of today.

Dear Arnaud,
thank you for your quick response. I excuse, that I am reporting such often, but my purpose is just to help.
As I am almost daily build a kali live and upgrade my kali systems daily, too, I see issues rather early.
While I can not change to naother mirror for the build due to the given settings, I am waiting, until it is fixed,

Please note: For my issues you never need to hurry! Always take your time! I can wait!

I am happy, when it is fixed some day.

Best

Hans

No worries, and thanks for reporting. For your installed systems you can always change your mirror in /etc/apt/sources.list.

For builds of kali live you can configure the mirror you use for the build with this (not tested but should work):

cd kali-live
echo "http://mirror.example.com/kali" > .mirror
kali-bugreport

Dear Arnaud,

tested today and the build went flawlessly today. For my issue here this problem seem to be fixed and my issue can safely be closed.

How it is with the duplicate of this issue, which was related to other packages, I can not tell anything.

But for me: This bugreport can safely be closed.

Thank you very much for all your help!
