    building custom kali iso... E: Failed getting release file and chroot: failed to run command

    I am trying to build a custom kali iso but I can't get past these two errors (not sure if related to each other):
    Code:
    root@kali:~/live-build-config# ./build.sh --distribution sana --variant gnome --arch amd64 --verbose

    notice E: Failed getting release file http://archive.kali.org/kali/dists/stretch/Release
    and chroot: failed to run command ‘/usr/bin/env’: No such file or directory

    I have an upgraded dist and I have live-build, cdebootstrap, debootstrap, devscripts

    I found this: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...usr-bin-env%92 but the solution of installing debootstrap isn't suitable as it was installed by default, also that thread is old and clearly the chroot error was produced by different reasons. I can't find http://archive.kali.org/kali/dists/stretch/Release anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

    AFAIK sana is not supported anymore. Try the same command without "--distribution sana"
