Package: chisel / chisel-common-binaries

Architecture: amd64

Kali Rolling

Description

The chisel and chisel-common-binaries packages in Kali Rolling currently provide incompatible upstream versions.

The installed packages are:

chisel:
Installed: 1.12.1-0kali2
Candidate: 1.12.1-0kali2

chisel-common-binaries:
Installed: 1.12.0~rc3-0kali1
Candidate: 1.12.0~rc3-0kali1

chisel-common-binaries provides the following client binary:

/usr/share/chisel-common-binaries/chisel_1.12.0-rc3_linux_amd64

When this client is used with the chisel server installed from the current Kali package, the connection fails with:

Client version (1.12.0-rc3) differs from server version (1.12.1-0kali2)

Both packages are reported as up to date by APT.

Steps to reproduce

Install/update both packages:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install chisel chisel-common-binaries

Check the installed versions:

apt policy chisel chisel-common-binaries

Run the client binary provided by chisel-common-binaries:

/usr/share/chisel-common-binaries/chisel_1.12.0-rc3_linux_amd64

Connect it to the chisel server installed from the chisel package.

The connection fails because the client is version 1.12.0-rc3 while the server is 1.12.1.

Expected behavior

chisel-common-binaries should provide a client compatible with the current chisel package in Kali Rolling, or the packages should otherwise have compatible version constraints.

Actual behavior

Both packages are considered up to date by APT, but the client binary supplied by chisel-common-binaries cannot connect to the current chisel server because the upstream versions differ.

/usr/share/chisel-common-binaries/chisel_1.12.0-rc3_linux_amd64

Could chisel-common-binaries be updated to the corresponding Chisel version?
