Summary	0009783: Amass fails to initialize because libpostal-data package lacks required address_parser model files
Description	While testing the Kali amass package, I found that Amass fails to initialize libpostal because the required parser model files are not present, even though libpostal-data is installed. Amass prints: ERR Could not find parser model file of known type ERR Error loading address parser module although libpostal-data is installed. amass 5.0.1-0kali4 libpostal1 1.1.4-0kali1 libpostal-data 1.1.4-0kali1

Novahunter06 2026-07-14 17:33 reporter ~0021870	I installed amass from Kali repositories along with its dependencies: amass 5.0.1-0kali4 libpostal1 1.1.4-0kali1 libpostal-data 1.1.4-0kali1 When running: amass -h Amass starts but reports libpostal initialization errors: ERR Could not find parser model file of known type at address_parser_load (address_parser.c:215) ERR Error loading address parser module at libpostal_setup_parser_datadir (libpostal.c:447)
