after getting this error i think if i try to install all the depending and required packages independently, but as i try to install them one by one , i discover ; they are layered dependencies that each of the packages specified required ; and in some ways , some of the libraries are installed but apt keep claiming they are not going to be installed. any help is appreciated... thanks.
if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Kali Linux isn't a stable distribution since it's based on Debian Testing, which is a rolling release. And rolling releases are as a matter of fact always breaking once in a while, no matter what people say about their strictly specific experience.
