Parrot OS - Repository issues / Broken/Missing Packages

Hello

I’ve been facing some issues with my Parrot OS installation for quite some time, mainly, easily resolvable issues, until a couple of months ago in which the system started showing up dependency related errors after a parrot system upgrade. The issue regarded a python library package which wasn’t satisfied, and, since I didn’t have any need for the library in question, nor the other packages which depended on it (I checked, no system related packages were affected), I removed the said package and autoremoved the remaining ones.

Everything seemed normal until a few days ago in which I had to execute something on python2. I tried to fetch some packages directly from pip2, but, obviously found out that pip2 was not present on the system anymore. After numerous google searches, I wasn’t able to come up with a decent solution to the issue, so, I’m asking here as a last resort, in the hopes of managing to restore the system back to normal without the need of a fresh installation

How did you get this error? Are there any steps to procedure it?

So basically, this is part of a bigger chain of errors that started showing up after the domain switch/repository changes on parrot. These errors involve issues with general parrot updates and package installations. During all this time I’ve mostly been using the inbuilt gui updater, and occasionally the parrot-upgrade script included by default (should be the same). The first immediate issue with the system showed up right after the above referenced announcement. I upgraded, performed a reboot, and found myself with a parrot installation running Mate DE (I use Parrot KDE). This went on and, I suspect, generally degraded the integrity of the system, update after update, to the point in which I am left with a corrupt python2 installation and missing packages from the official repos (ex: zenmap)

Description: Python package installer (pip wheels)
 pip is the Python package installer.  It integrates with virtualenv, doesn't
 do partial installs, can save package state for replaying, can install from
 non-egg sources, and can install from version control repositories.
 .
 This is the support package for the PEP 427 wheel version of the package,
 required for using pip inside a virtual environment.

If you have any idea or suggestion about this issue please tell us:

I have no idea what the root cause of the issue could be or could have been, since I’ve never added/removed anything to the parrot stock repositories (other than adding a 3rd party repo from microsoft in order to fetch updated vscode releases, which, I highly doubt has anything to do with the current situation)

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

it is mirror issue probably
can you show what is at
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/parrot.list

Here’s what parrot.list contains

Output

┌─[root@(redacted)]─[~]

#deb-src https://deb.parrot.sh/parrot/ rolling-security main contrib non-free

I suspect this could have been caused by the fact that parrot utilises a rolling distribution approach, which, in the case of a security/penetration testing distro, makes it kinda difficult to successfully maintain the plethora of tools and their respectful updates/dependencies, and could lead to situations like this. Again, I have no experience with repository managemnt systems or their inner workings, so @palinuro I would really appreciate it if you could shed some light into what could have caused this.

Thanks.

zenmap is on the official repo
it shows on my side
@dmknght can you look?

Not sure if this can be of use, however, this is the output of one of my debug attempts on this issue, sudo apt -oDebug::pkgAcquire::Worker=1 update yields the following:

All packages are up to date.

can you do
sudo dpkg --configure-a
then
sudo apt install -f
then
sudo parrot-upgrade

says you have broken packages
try this please

PLEASE

Thanks for your assistance, but unfortunately, dpkg --configure -a and the rest is handled automatically by parrot-upgrade, so I highly doubt that’s the case. Anyway I did proceed to manually attempt an upgrade following the commands inside parrot-upgrade, without success.

/usr/bin/parrot-upgrade:

#!/bin/bash
set -e
DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive"
DEBIAN_PRIORITY="critical"
DEBCONF_NOWARNINGS="yes"
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND DEBIAN_PRIORITY DEBCONF_NOWARNINGS
apt update || echo failed to update index lists
dpkg --configure -a || echo failed to fix interrupted upgrades
apt --fix-broken --fix-missing install || echo failed to fix conflicts
apt -y --allow-downgrades --fix-broken --fix-missing dist-upgrade

Regarding the broken packages issue, as I said, I have not manually held any old/broken versions of any package on my system:

┌─[root@(redacted)]─[~]
└──╼ #dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
(empty)

@dmknght Thank you for your input, however, I don’t find it relevant to the issue. Python 2 EOL does not explain nor justify how come the repository is missing basic packages like zenmap and python 2 related libraries.
I mainly develop on python 3, however, you can’t simply expect the cybersecurity community to drop support for python 2, simply due to the fact that so far most of the tools the community uses are either written on python 2 or ruby.

Thank you for your time.

@Development @Development-Team bumping since 24h have passed since last response.

Can you guys check into this issue?

Thanks.

Update: After a conversation on the official Parrot OS Telegram Group, it apparently seems that the whole confusion with the missing packages was caused due to Python 2 EOL, as @dmknght hinted.

Personally, I feel that this whole situation could have been handled better by an official announcement from the developers, (or by having a package directory search tool at our disposal, similar to https://packages.debian.org/ ), however, in the absense of that, hopefully this topic can be of use to other members with similar issues.

@moderators , this can now be closed
