rpi3-nexmon.sh couldn't download package bash #154

Hi, this may be a trivial issue of which I'm being an idiot for asking

Whenever I run one of the build scripts I get the error E: Couldn't download packages: bash

Earlier on in the scipt I also got the error W: Couldn't download package bash (ver 5.0-2 arch armhf at http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/b/bash/bash_5.0-2_armhf.deb

What would be the cause of this? And how can I fix this?

Just in case anyone else gets this issue, the solution was to change the suite from kali-rolling to kali-last-snapshot. seems to have built successfully for the first time in weeks. This is not a happy Paddy :( Sorry for wasting your time today

I'm not sure why it was failing for weeks for you, as I run builds of it nightly - that said, there were a couple days recently where a couple of mirrors were out of sync, but that's fixed - you should be able to build now without pointing at kali-last-snapshot.

Just in case you aren't aware, kali-last-snapshot points at the packages that were used in the previous release. In your case, that was likely 2018.4's base install, so once you actually boot up, you will have a lot of packages to update. Can you try running another build against Kali-rolling now?
