Zenmap missing Kali Linux 2019.4

[gmf2019]

Odd, in Kali Linux 2019.4 Zenmap appears to be missing. If I try and install it i get the following:
apt-get install zenmap
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package zenmap is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
ndiff


E: Package 'zenmap' has no installation candidate


thanks in advance,
GMF

As zenmap was not being maintained upstream any longer we had to drop the package.

Download the rpm from nmap and:
To install Alien and necessary package, run this command
$ sudo apt-get install alien dpkg-dev debhelper build-essential
To convert a package from RPM to debian format, use this command:
$ sudo alien packagename.rpm
To install the package:
$ sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb

It should work then, but I haven't fully tested it yet etc.

First download zenmap -> "Optional Zenmap GUI (https://nmap.org/zenmap/) (all platforms): zenmap-7.80-1.noarch.rpm (https://nmap.org/dist/zenmap-7.80-1.noarch.rpm)" from https://nmap.org/download.html
Should be in your downloads folder.

Then run these commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install alien

Go to your downloads folder cd Downloads

sudo alien "name of downloaded package.rpm"

sudo dpkg -i "name of converted package.deb"


zenmap

Hi,
I was having the same problem, I tried to follow the instructions, but still I continued to fail.
Fortunately, I managed to solve it !!! In my case the problem was in the "Sources.list" file in the "apt" package.

First, go to the file -> /etc /apt /sources.list

open the file "sources.list" and ype the following lines:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stretch main
deb http://old.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://old.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://old.kali.org/kali moto main non-free contrib
deb-src http://old.kali.org/kali moto main non-free contrib

Save and close the file.
Then, at the terminal, run these commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install zenmap

It worked for me, I hope I helped you!! Good luck!

this does not work on 2020.4, i was able to reproduce this failure on a laptop and two separate virtual machines.

I think it is because the package is missing.

I have posted a possible solution to this issues. It will require you to download the zenmap rpm version and downgrade the alien version to 8.90 (not tested on different versions so far).
Installing via dpkg -i and adding python libraries should do the trick.

I have detailed this process here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66345837/converting-rpm-files-to-debian-error-package-build-failed
