    Simplest solution is to use a proper distro. Kali is for penetration testing, not for installing services like Torchat. No, Kali is not "what all the cool hackers use", no matter what you read on some forums. Please also read this. Kali is well known to have trouble with standard packages. Just use something Debian-based instead.

    @dirkt I heard somewhere that Kali was Debian-based now... but there are dozens of Debian-based distros to choose from, some definitely much much much easier to use than Kali. TorChat's in Debian stable, there's no excuse it shouldn't work on a decent Debian. @ Bradass_FaLLaG do you have Debian repositories enabled? Can Kali even do that? Where'd you get the package you're trying to install?

Why can't you just use apt? Just type in the terminal:

sudo apt-get update    
sudo apt-get install torchat
