    Question Problem Upgrading Kali Today - python-distorm3_3.3-1kali1_all.deb issues

    First off I have the gnome 64bit installed on a vm player. I havent had any problems in close to a year with my set up until now.
    I have searched all over for a solution to no avail, I tried to upgrade my Kali box today and when given the command i get the following error.

    apt-get upgrade
    Code:
    root@KALIvM:~# 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 when I try the recommended apt-get install -f i get the next error.

    apt-get -f install
    Code:
    root@KALIvM:~# apt-get -f install
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree

    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
      distorm3 libdb4.6 libgadu3 libmozjs24d libssl0.9.8 libtsk3-3 xulrunner-24.0
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
    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.
    8 not fully installed or removed.
    Need to get 18.1 kB of archives.
    After this operation, 116 kB of additional disk space will be used.

     /var/cache/apt/archives/python-distorm3_3.3-1kali1_all.deb
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    I have tried to manually install the python-distorm3_3.3-1kali1_all.deb and it fails due to the dependencies not being met.. Any help with this issue would greatly be appriciated and thank you guys for all your hard work and time for the best dist. available!
