Error on doing Update & Upgrade in Kali 2017.1

[john400]

I am using 64-bit Kali Linux 2017.1 . I have installed Kali for the first time.
The output for


uname -a
Linux codex 4.6.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.6.4-1kali1 (2016-07-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux

After running
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
I was getting these errors at the bottom


dpkg: error processing package python-libxslt1 (--configure):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration
Processing triggers for gnome-menus (3.13.3-9) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of chirp:
chirp depends on python-libxslt1; however:
Package python-libxslt1 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package chirp (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kali-linux-full:
kali-linux-full depends on chirp; however:
Package chirp is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package kali-linux-full (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
python-libxslt1
chirp
kali-linux-full

So I tried to reinstall python-libxslt1 package using


apt-get remove --purge python-libxslt1

and then


apt-get install python-libxslt1

But the same problem exists. The error doesn't go away. I tried many things like


apt-get install -f

Output: Got error same as the previous one.

and

But the same error as previous one.

The output for

but it was of no use. I also checked other dpkg errors question here but it wasn't of much help.I can't understand why does it show error even on a new installation. If any further edits are required please tell me so that I can quickly edit the post. Any help will be appreciated. I am getting frustrated of seeing the error again and again.Thanks

While it's a rather brutal approach, you can try apt install kali-linux-full, which should fix things. I'd back up any crucial data first.

Show the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list

I got same issue today my issue was with dpkg and iceweasel. I had profiles configed for bot i use to run not sure if it was profiles or what. I need to reboot my windows to 64 bit so ill probly just dual boot latest version anyways. Hopefully save some of my notes before i do. Let us know if u have easy fix.

Try to uninstall the program CHIRP, and reinstall . Or not even reinstall. This is a progrma for amateur ham radio users, if you dont have a ham radio chances are you wouldnt even use it anyway.
