    dpkg: error processing nvidia-cuda-toolkit_4.2.9-2_amd64.deb (--install):
    trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/bin2c', which is also in package winexe 1.1~20130620-0kali4
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    nvidia-cuda-toolkit_4.2.9-2_amd64.deb

    the file you downloaded may be corrupted. Try to download a fresh one and try again

    hi nvidia-cuda-toolkit and winexe packages conflict both try to put the same file in /usr/bin (bin2c i believe). currently you cant have both on the system together, if you need cuda toolkit you have to remove winexe,passing the hash, and some kali meta packages WITHOUT REMOVING THE REST OF KALI, that can only be done with aptitude and a lot of experience
    I am looking to solve the issue but reqires a rewrite of winexe, best we contact the winexe dev and get him to do it

    dpkg -i --force-overwrite /usr/bin/bin2c
