I am kind of stuck with the installation of ltrace on my Kali VM.

My /etc/apt/sources.list file is updated with following entry:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

I am trying to install ltrace via apt-get install ltrace. However, getting an error stating unable to locate package ltrace.

Could anyone help me out here?

Edit: It got resolved. Thank you all.

    Since this is not an RE question on its own, try asking on Superuser, Unix&Linux, or Security instead. Or just check Kali's own support resources. – Igor Skochinsky Oct 10 '18 at 07:45

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it asks about problems with a particular - not easy to wield - Linux distro. Even on unix.SE such a question won't be well received, because of how many questions lack a basic understanding of Debian package management in general and Kali-specifics. – 0xC0000022L Oct 10 '18 at 12:09
  • @IgorSkochinsky I would try searching on Superuser or Unix&Linux. Thanks for the input. – Jiger Jain Oct 10 '18 at 16:57
  • @0xC0000022L I believe it is a forum to ask queries and resolve those. If I would have been clear, I would not have asked my query. Anyway, Stack is a place where people are of varied views and could help people like us to find a way. Nevertheless, Thanks for your input, appreciate it. – Jiger Jain Oct 10 '18 at 16:59

    Ltrace is definitely there. See https://http.kali.org/pool/main/l/ltrace/ . When you say "updated", you mean you've run "sudo apt-get update" or the equivalent, right? – dingo_kinznerhook Oct 10 '18 at 21:14
  • @dingo_kinznerhook yes I did sudo apt-get update and post that sudo apt-get upgrade. Should I edit my sources.list file and include the URL you mentioned? – Jiger Jain Oct 10 '18 at 22:51

    @JigerJain: for most practical purposes you'll want apt-get dist-upgrade in place of apt-get upgrade. I know that the name of these commands is slightly misleading, so dist-upgrade will not upgrade from disto version x to x+1 or so. But the package selection criteria differ. However, once you know exactly what you're trying to achieve, you can mix and match these commands as needed. – 0xC0000022L Oct 11 '18 at 08:28
