@jp-bennett any ideas?

libyaml-cpp0.7 is a different package than libyaml-cpp0.8. We compile the .debs for latest Raspberry Pi OS, which is basically latest Debian. The .deb is not compatible with latest Ubuntu and derivatives.

Thank you for your reply. Since Kali is based on Debian and not Ubuntu, it should be compatible, right? In this case, do you have any suggestions on what I can try to install Meshtastic on Kali? Any alternative ways to obtain the missing dependencies? Thank you for your time.

Kali is based on Debian testing, so closer to Ubuntu. The rolling aspect of Kali makes it a challenge to package for. You can compile it yourself, especially if you're on a Pi 4 or 5.
