  • Kali ≠ Debian

    I did not see an apt-get update

    In my experience, unmet dependencies are unlikely to happen on a stable version where you only installed from the official repo.

    The LZMA decompression errors point at a much more fundamental issue. I’m suspecting that the repository URLs point at non standard locations or downloads were interrupted, though I’m not sure exactly how, since AFAIK, apt checks the checksum.

    If you must have something that’s not In your distro, do yourself a favour and install Docker and run your package inside there, much less chance of killing your system.

  • And that right there is why Windows is so entrenched.

    If you want this for real, adoption of open source, then treat it properly. Consider the business impact of your absence, document the systems, train others, otherwise this is just another timebomb waiting to go off and with it any hope of weakening the Microsoft stranglehold on the company and its C-suite.

    I’ve lost count of the number of such “projects” I’ve encountered in my professional career.

    This is not doing anyone any favours, least of all yourself.
