    Problem with python-distorm3

    hello there
    after i did apt-get update today and checked for upgrades i found out i cannot install anythin because of dependency issues regarding volatility as i should install python-distorm3
    here is the output:

    Code:
    koril@bare:~# apt-get upgrade
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     volatility : Depends: python-distorm3 but it is not installed
                  Recommends: volatility-profiles but it is not installable
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
    so i did.... and then:

    Code:
    koril@bare:~# apt-get install -f
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Correcting dependencies... Done
    The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
      distorm3
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
    The following extra packages will be installed:
      python-distorm3
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      python-distorm3
    0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    1 not fully installed or removed.
    Need to get 0 B/18.1 kB of archives.
    After this operation, 116 kB of additional disk space will be used.
    Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y

    Unpacking python-distorm3 (from .../python-distorm3_3.3-1kali1_all.deb) ...
    dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-distorm3_3.3-1kali1_all.deb (--unpack):
     trying to overwrite '/usr/share/pyshared/distorm3/__init__.py', which is also in package distorm3 3.3-1kali0
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     /var/cache/apt/archives/python-distorm3_3.3-1kali1_all.deb
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    i could live without volatility fully functional but i kinda need the power to upgrade/install
    so if anyone has any idea howto resolve this i would be eternally thankful

    Confirmed.
    I've just ping'd the dev team about this. They are aware of the issue.
    (Update: bug ticket about it: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=1859.)
