Dradis and DPKG error during apt dist-upgrade

[Sagaryal]

After performing sudo apt update, I tried to upgrade by doing sudo apt dist-upgrade but it shows following dradis error. What should I do?

I'd try uninstalling dradis and reinstalling it from the Kali repos.

If I uninstall dradis then, it will remove kali-linux-full too. Won't that be a problem then?

I had the same issue... here's how I fixed it:
First, I figured I'd completely remove dradis (and kali-linux-full), the offending package(s):

apt-get purge dradis

That doesn't remove the /etc/dradis/ directory, so I backed it up (wasn't necessary, but better to be **** than ***-raped, right?) and obliterated the lil' *******:

mkdir backup-etc-dradis && rsync -avrX /etc/dradis backup-etc-dradis && rm --recursive  /etc/dradis/

There's still some residual traces of dradis stuck in the couch cushions and whatnot (e.g. 'dradis' user), but luckily our package manager has a pretty high 'aptitude' to 'get' these sorts of issues and deal with them...

apt-get install kali-linux-full

VoilÃ*. Ready to roll. Hope this works for ya!
