    Question dpkg - Error processing libxtables11:amd64 - dependency problems

    I've recently installed Kali-rolling as a virtual machine on VM VirtualBox 5.1.14. But Since I installed the system and every time I execute a command in the terminal I get this message

    Code:
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libxtables11:amd64:
     libxtables12:amd64 (1.6.0+snapshot20161117-4) breaks libxtables11 (<= 1.6.0+snapshot20161117-1) and is installed.
      Version of libxtables11:amd64 to be configured is 1.6.0-3.
    
    dpkg: error processing package libxtables11:amd64 (--configure):
     dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     libxtables11:amd64
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    I tried the following solutions that I found them on the Internet, but none of them worked and I'm still getting the same dependency problem.

    Code:
    apt-get clean
    apt-get autoclean
    apt-get -f install

    Code:
    apt-get autoremove
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade
    apt-get dist-upgrade
    The problem is preventing me of installing any packages, or even executing an "apt-get upgrade" command.
    Since I'm very new to the Linux Environment, I don't know if I explained the problem as I should, But I hope you can find a solution for my problem

    Try this:

    dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libxtables12_1.6.0+snapshot20161117-4_amd64.deb

    Than try continuing with rest of upgrade.
    *Note: The above package synatx may vary on your setup/configuration so you may want to check the package folder location to ensure you enter it correctly.

    Good Luck
