I tried to install apktool recently using sudo apt install apktool but I keep getting this error, I am using kali linux release 2022.4

dpkg: error processing package python3-protobuf (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 python3
 hashcat-data
 criu
 python3-protobuf
needrestart is being skipped since dpkg has failed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Full error:

  • Read all your messages for clues; you've only copy/pasted the summary details & not the actual error message(s) which were higher than what you provided. You also know what OS & release you're using (packages are built for specific releases; we only know yours if you tell us) – guiverc Jan 11 '23 at 11:12
  • No, I still get error while processing hashcat-data, criu and python3-protobuf – TheDiamondCreeper Jan 11 '23 at 11:16
  • I still don't see any OS/release details; a quick look and package looks like kinetic, but it's better if we're told and not needing to guess. You know your release, thus you can better understand the messages than we can (as we've not been told the release) – guiverc Jan 11 '23 at 11:18

    Questions about Kali Linux are off topic at Ask Ubuntu and should be asked at Unix & Linux Q&A instead. – karel Jan 11 '23 at 11:30
  • Please refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic, Ubuntu and official flavors of Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) are on-topic on this site. We are sorry, Kali-Linux is off-topic. You can use https://forums.kali.org/ but Kali-Linux is intended for experienced GNU/Linux users and users are expected to fix their own problems, and only when that fails to have them ask a question with a well-documented problem. (see the on-topic link for the alternate SE Unix & Linux site). https://www.kali.org/docs//introduction/should-i-use-kali-linux/ – guiverc Jan 11 '23 at 11:35
