Installation from the weekly installer image fails (2022-W40 and
2022-W41). From syslog:
in-target: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
in-target: king-phisher : Depends: python3-matplotlib (>= 1.4.3) but it is not installable
in-target: Recommends: python3-mpltoolkits.basemap (>= 1.0.7) but it is not installable
From a manual install, using the iso packages set in sources.list:
# apt install king-phisher
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3-fonttools : Depends: python3-unicodedata2 (>= 14.0.0) but it is not installable or
python3-all (>= 3.11.0) but 3.10.6-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Dependency chain is as follow:
king-phisher
+-- python3-matplotlib
+-- python3-fonttools
+-- python3-unicodedata2 (>= 14.0.0) | python3-all (>= 3.11.0)
In the set of packages that are available in the iso, we don't have
python3-unicodedata2 , however we have python3-all , BUT it's at version
3.10.6-1 ... So nothing can satisfy the dependency.
For now, let's manually force python3-unicodedata2 in the iso, as a
workaround.
In a real situation, those packages are installed by the chain of
depends/recommends orca -> speech-dispatcher ->
(speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng, sound-icons).
However that chain is broken, in all likelyhood by debian-cd dependency
handling, cf. #601203.
This mention should ensure these packages are present in the generated
ISO.
Fixes: #46
In a real situation, the package is installed by a chain of recommends
pipewire-bin -> wireplumber -> pipewire-pulse and that chain is broken
either by debian-cd's dependency handling or by simple-cdd's logic to
build its local mirror. But this mention should ensure its presence in
the generated ISO.
This reverts commit d1ad9e1ea2.
The empty directory `local_packages` was there for a reason.
`simple-cdd` gives a warning when this directory doesn't exist:
WARNING local package source /home/kali/live-build-config/simple-cdd/local_packages is neither a file nor a directory
So re-instate this empty dir to keep the logs clean.
I assume that `variant-minimal` was also there for a good reason.
We recently switched from DVD to BD (Bluray Disc) because the image
didn't fit in a single layer DVD anymore and that changed broke
a further check enabling the offline logic.
We want debian-installer to see "ethX" device names and not the
other names that we have disabled via kali-defaults anyway. That
discrepancy even breaks networking for minimal installations
where /etc/network/interfaces gets the wrong name.
This ensures that they can be installed by finish-install.d/08hw-detect
when virtualization is detected. Otherwise the lack of network breaks
this step.
We move the default preseed to the kali profile so that the default
preseed can actually again enable simple-cdd-profiles that we need
because we want the other profiles to have their preseed and postinst
working (and they work through the script run when simple-cdd-profiles
is installed).
We add an offline profile that disables the network mirror (but not
the networking!) and we add a "postinst" script that is run in the
finish-install step to actually configure /etc/apt/sources.list that
is empty due to the preseed.
Debian defaults to linux-image-686 for i386 on all levels (simple-cdd,
debian-cd, debian-installer). Kali modified debian-installer to use
linux-image-686-pae in debian-installer (for the benefit of the live
image mainly!). We have to adjust simple-cdd (by way of the
kernel_packages configuration item) and debian-cd (with some live
patching of a copy).
