Open finlandhl opened 9 months ago
same problem as you but when upgrading the full installation and so when installing the base files package from 2024 since the one available from the google drive is from 2019....
there is also an error but maybe it is just secondary
E: Can not write log (Is /dev/pts mounted?) - posix_openpt (2: No such file or directory)
the official minirootfs from kali itself does not work (after xz decompress and rezip with gzip of course) does not work. error /2
It would have been simpler @finlandhl if you would have publish the patchs you would have applied to the original rootfs since you are calling it custom??? So where did you find it?
indpkg.log
it is status half-installed base-files:i386
Didn't you create this? So why are you asking us when you know more about this than we do
It's an open source project and everyone who can bring his background to help make kali-ios bug free is welcome. I don't know all about linux

Do NOT upgrade as it will break the whole system. Instead, install your packages manually using the scripts I have provided at /home/tools
You can simply download any i386 .deb packages that you want to use alongside its respective dependencies from 2018-2019 releases at Debian Package or Snapshot Debian, extract and copy to the system using the script debinst
You can also download and compile source files from the above websites, and install.
These methods are a workaround before I figure out how to make apt-get and/or aptitude to work as expected.
As to fix the
E: Can not write log (Is /dev/pts mounted?) - posix_openpt (2: No such file or directory)
run the script bugfix located at /home/tools or find its location with this:
find / -name bugfix
This kali is from 2019. So you must actually run package versions around that year. If you want to run a newer version, the good thing to do is to compile and install.
NEVER OVERWRITE FILES RELATED TO LIBC6 UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
New releases coming soon with python3 and pip3 fully working + Links browser ...
I’m also working on the latest kalifs release to make it work in our environment. Still fails to chroot because of compatibility issues with the different shell programs I tried even the latest ones (bash, zsh, dash, etc). I will upload it as sun as it can run successfully
thanks
Thank you for your respond. I never don't upgrade now.
Good job I love it.
@finlandhl okey good copy on all that but that does not answer my primary question which is, in the end, the root of all the problems… where did you find the custom version of the rootfs version of kali? Did you compile it yourself ? With what as base material ? And why specifically 2019 ? It’s not like you’ve opened your repo 5 years ago but only a few weeks ago. i can’t help on the patches if I don’t know where I coming from… do you understand what I mean?
Got it from official kali's nethunter rootfs archive:
https://build.nethunter.com/kalifs/kalifs-20190228/kalifs-i386-full.tar.xz
Tried most recent ones but all showing libtinfo6 and libc6 issues. If anyone can manage to get recent rootfs to work, would be great to share with the community
Installation and removal of packages and dependencies with apt (apt-get) fails.
Error message:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly
Anyone who knows how to fix this is invited to share here please
