    Cool Where is pinfo?

    I am very new to Kali and just going through the online training. In it, it refers to pinfo, which I believe you should be able to install using sudo apt update and sudo apt-get install -y pinfo. I am getting an error however telling me that it has no installation candidate. I am given to understand that this means that it is not recognised within the default repositories but a] Why would it not be, if it is part of the official Kali learning documentation and b] How do you find out if a package does exist in a repository elsewhere?

    The pinfo package is in the default Kali repo. This error message means that it can't find it. Make sure that you have an internet connection. Also confirm that the default repo is in de file /etc/apt/sources.list.
    The default repo is:

    Code:
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
    So in the terminal type:
    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    the contents of the sources.list is printed to the screen.

    Hi VinceP,

    Have you tried sudo apt-get install pinfo -y ?

    Also if you could send the error log that would be great, I tried the above command and installed fine.
