If I may, this is a summary of the situation now:
- if I try to install python3 (
sudo apt install python3) withqubes-*packages hold (sudo apt-mark hold qubes-*), the install cannot proceed:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qubes-core-agent : Depends: python3-qubesdb but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
- if I release the hold (
sudo apt-mark unhold qubes-*) before installing python3, the qubes shutdown itself.
I use Kali for work and not being able to update python3 is really problematic as you can imagine…
I remember a post where @unman told the community that we should not wait too long and request help if we were not able to do something after trying diligently. I have this problem for weeks now. If I sum up everything, I have not spent hours but days trying to work around this problem.
English is not my native language. Maybe I asked something inadequately or something is inappropriate from my part? Please tell me.
Would it be possible to have a very short answer from a knowledgeable person? Like: “Dependencies problems are frequent between Qubes and Kali. There is nothing to do. Just wait for updated packages to arrive, which can take month in the worst case”.
I’d be so grateful because I could move on and drop Qubes (which I love!!!) when using Kali.
At that point, I’m desperate and anything apart from silence would be welcome!
