    Exclamation Error on doing Update & Upgrade in Kali 2017.1

    I am using 64-bit Kali Linux 2017.1 . I have installed Kali for the first time.
    The output for

    Code:
    uname -a
    Linux codex 4.6.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.6.4-1kali1 (2016-07-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux

    After running
    Code:
    apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
    I was getting these errors at the bottom

    dpkg: error processing package python-libxslt1 (--configure):
    package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
    reinstall it before attempting configuration
    Processing triggers for gnome-menus (3.13.3-9) ...
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of chirp:
    chirp depends on python-libxslt1; however:
    Package python-libxslt1 is not configured yet.

    dpkg: error processing package chirp (--configure):
    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kali-linux-full:
    kali-linux-full depends on chirp; however:
    Package chirp is not configured yet.

    dpkg: error processing package kali-linux-full (--configure):
    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    python-libxslt1
    chirp
    kali-linux-full
    So I tried to reinstall python-libxslt1 package using

    Code:
    apt-get remove --purge python-libxslt1
    and then

    Code:
    apt-get install python-libxslt1
    But the same problem exists. The error doesn't go away. I tried many things like

    Code:
    apt-get install -f
    Output: Got error same as the previous one.

    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    and

    Code:
    dpkg --configure -a
    But the same error as previous one.

    The output for
    Code:
    ifconfig
    is:

    but it was of no use. I also checked other dpkg errors question here but it wasn't of much help.I can't understand why does it show error even on a new installation. If any further edits are required please tell me so that I can quickly edit the post. Any help will be appreciated. I am getting frustrated of seeing the error again and again.Thanks

    While it's a rather brutal approach, you can try apt install kali-linux-full, which should fix things. I'd back up any crucial data first.

    Try to uninstall the program CHIRP, and reinstall . Or not even reinstall. This is a progrma for amateur ham radio users, if you dont have a ham radio chances are you wouldnt even use it anyway.
