    Installing KVM - Dependencies not installable

    Hey guys,

    I am not sure if that was already asked but KVM is too short for the search :/

    What I am trying to do is (simply) installing kvm, but "apt-get install KVM" tells me something like: "Depends: qemu-system-x86 (>= 1,7,0+dfsg-2~) but it is not going to be installed"
    So next I tried to install the qemu-system-x86 but this tells me another bunch of dependencies are missing (libfdt1, libiscsi2, librados2, lobrbdl, libseccomp2, libusbredirparser1, ...)
    But when I try to install the first dependency "apt-get install libdft1" it tells me "Unable to locate paclage libdft1".

    Is there a fix or a workaround for that?


    Greetings

    and after that i don't have any problems

    i try to install kvm with
    sudo apt-get install kvm
    and everything was fine. no problem at all
    this is my source list ( /etc/apt/sources.list ) and check it with yours

    #Regular repositories
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali/ sana main non-free contrib
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free

    #Source repositories
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali/ sana main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security/ sana/updates main contrib non-free
    maybe you just need

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo-apt-get upgrade

    and then try to install kvm
    I don't see any other reason (maybe you run as root, then switch to user account)

    strangely enough my sources.list just had the security.kali.org-repositories, when I added the other two it installed perfectly.
    But I am still not sure, why these lines were missing on a freshly installed system.

    even so, thanks very much
