Hi there,

Hi! The same trouble using 32 or 64 bit versions of Kali 2020.2b - 7 days of searching for solution - no result.
Tried to upgrade without GUI - the same error.

Raspberry Pi 4 8Gb too error

make sure your paths are all there:

export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

and the kali-theme today updated just fine, could've been the old theme was flawed...

I was constantly getting the same error at least 4 times:
- I used a 32 bit Kali image to record directly the file with Etcher (checksum error, but nothing serious)
- I used a 64 bit Kali image to record directly the file with Etcher (checksum error, but nothing serious)
I changed Samsung 64Gb card to red-grey SanDisk 32Gb one then
- I used a 32 bit Kali image to record directly the file with Etcher (checksum error, but nothing serious)
- I used a 64 bit Kali image to record directly the file with Etcher (checksum error, but nothing serious)
Each attempt to upgrade after first boot led to the same error as yours.
BUT I have just tried to extract image to a folder before recording to sd card with Etcher. So Etcher verified checksum (of course because the checksum file was not in archive this time) without an error.
I do not think this is the reason. But another thing I did was the 3-d (!) sd card, this time it was a white-grey SanDisk 32Gb card.
So - another SD card and another writing method. A real magic :-) but no errors at upgrade process!!!

I did a clean installing of Knoppmyth 5.5. I can boot and use the system.Due to some issues with video driver I need to install some more packages. I use apt but I receive several dependency problems:Code:
