Hello,

I am using the latest Kali fully updated and i noticed a day ago that there is a problem with Python and pip.

Code:
error: externally-managed-environment

? This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
    create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
    Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
    sure you have python3-full installed.
    
    If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
    it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
    virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
    
    See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

I tried to install for example:

pip3 install reflutter
pip install pipx

etc

and in general it seems to be a system-wide issue as i am getting with any package...

The issue seems to be started after the latest apt-get update and apt-get latest upgrade

On the system i can see:

Python 3.11.2
pip 23.0 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.11)


Then i thought that it may be to an older Python needed and i did an altinstall of 3.9 but it was not ok.

Last test was to try it on latest/updated Ubuntu with the same installations and it was working great.

So i did a clean install of Kali and i updated it using apt-get update and apt-get latest upgrade and tried to install the same tools before touching anything else and i got again the same issue.

Any help please?

Thanks in advance !
