Problem using apt-get upgrade / libpcap

I messed something up with libpcap and can't figure out how to correct it..

when i run apt-get upgrade i get the following error.. please help..

running kali rolling

Code:

root@atreyu:~# apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libpcap0.8 : Breaks: libpcap0.8:i386 (!= 1.8.1-3) but 1.4.0-2 is installed libpcap0.8:i386 : Breaks: libpcap0.8 (!= 1.4.0-2) but 1.8.1-3 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

but then when i run apt --fix-broken install i get the following:

FYI

please help.. i was trying to fix reaver, looking at this post: https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/fo...-dead-0168056/

help please

It's a brutish solution, but I'd try apt-get install kali-linux-full. That should overwrite your entire install with the latest packages from the repos.

i tried that and this error pops out

dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-IwhUlo/183-libpcap0.8_1.8.1-3_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libpcap0.8/CREDITS.gz', which is different from other instances of package libpcap0.8:i386

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

hello

dpkg --configure -a

which will try to install any package not properly installed in a gentle way
If this does not work try

apt-get install -f

or

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /usr/share/doc/libpcap0.8/CREDITS.gz

or

apt-get purge libpcap0.8

do you thinik this is related to my other post : https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...0348#post70348

prob purge and reinstall

now im getting problems with other things:

Code:

apt-get remove --purge libpcap0.8:i386
apt-get install libpcap0.8:i386
apt-get -f install
apt-get configure -a

can you explain the last command there?

Code:

root@atreyu:~# apt-get configure -a E: Command line option 'a' [from -a] is not understood in combination with the other options.

apt-get --configure -a

no good for me...

Code:

root@atreyu:~# apt-get --configure -a E: Command line option --configure is not understood in combination with the other options root@atreyu:~# apt-get -configure -a E: Opening configuration file onfigure - ifstream::ifstream (2: No such file or directory)

lol cheers
dpkg --configure -a
dpkg -f install
