Fixed error of kali linux 2017.1
This release is a roll-up of all updates and fixes since our 2017.1 release in April. In tangible terms, if you were to install Kali from your 2017.1 ISO, after logging in to the desktop and running ‘apt update && apt full-upgrade’, you would be faced with something similiar to this daunting message:
1399 upgraded, 171 newly installed, 16 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1,477 MB of archives.
After this operation, 1,231 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
That would make for a whole lot of downloading, unpacking, and configuring of packages. Naturally, these numbers don’t tell the entire tale so read on to see what’s new in this release.
