apt-get upgrade Kismet error
Hello,
Newbie here. I've search around for a fix for the following, but can't seem to find anything. Can someone please help? Please forgive if I posted this in the wrong section.

BUMP - suggested fix does not work, and neither does completely removing kismet and kismet-newcore and reinstalling those two packages either...
How did you remove them. What commands did you type. What thoughts do you have.Originally Posted by mcurran
These damned packages can be a real pain in the ass to work.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
I reinstalled and this is not an issue with the default kernel. I did a search with Konqueror for all packages name kismet and then deleted manually from the terminal.
Open terminal and paste:
dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/kismet_2008-05-R1-4_i386.deb
Kismet error
Have you tried running fast-track. It also updates kismet newcore.
The enemy is no longer ignorance - It is vigilance
Im getting the same issue. I just have Kismet-newcore installed, and everything works fine from what I can tell. Is kismet the old package, and not needed now?
markosd suggestion works but after that do this
the usual way for deb usersCode:apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade
thanx markosd
