I got the exact same error message this week; I have been using win-kex many months before without an issue. Any help would also be appreciated from my side!

Yup that is exactly what I am getting

Preparing to unpack …/2-kali-win-kex_3.1.2_amd64.deb …
Unpacking kali-win-kex (3.1.2) over (3.1.1) …

This update fixed it for me right now.

I have the same Issue. I’ve tried many things but nothing works, does somebody have a solution?
