How to upgrade all Python packages in Kali Linux

Your Kali Linux system is full of obsolete Python packages. You can verify this, in order to display Python 3 packages for which a new version has been released:

pip3 list -o

To display Python 2 packages for which a new version has been released:

pip2 list -o

To upgrade all Python 3 packages at once in Kali Linux, run the following command:

for i in $ (pip3 list -o | awk 'NR> 2 {print $ 1}'); do sudo pip3 install -U $ i; done

To upgrade all Python 2 packages at once in Kali Linux, run the following command:

for i in $(pip2 list -o | awk 'NR > 3 {print $1}'); do sudo pip2 install -U $i; done

pip errors when upgrading Python 3 packages

But more precisely, most packages will be updated – some will not be updated due to various errors and warnings.

An example of a warning when the necessary dependency is missing:

python-debianbts 2.7.3 requires pysimplesoap!=1.16.2, which is not installed.

That is, the python-debianbts package requires pysimplesoap, which is not installed. Solving the problem – just install the missing dependency with a command like this:

sudo pip3 install package_name

for example

sudo pip3 install pysimplesoap

If the problem is with the package for Python 2, then use the appropriate version of pip:

sudo pip2 install package_name

When install all dependencies, run the command to update all packages again to reinstall packages that could not be updated.

An example of another warning in which distutils is mentioned:

Cannot uninstall 'AdvancedHTTPServer'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

The message says that you cannot delete the AdvancedHTTPServer, because it is part of the installed distutils and it is impossible to determine exactly which files belong to it.

You can simply skip the updates of these packages – that is, do nothing.

If you wish to upgrade these packages, use the --ignore-installed option in the command:

sudo pip3 install package_name --ignore-installed

For example, to update AdvancedHTTPServer:

sudo pip3 install AdvancedHTTPServer -U --ignore-installed

If the package is for Python2, then use pip2:

sudo pip2 install package_name --ignore-installed

I also had several other errors, mainly when building packages due to the lack of necessary files. The reason most often is that the necessary dependency is not installed (different headers for compilation). Such errors need to be solved individually – look at which file is missing, look for which package it belongs to, install this package and re-launch the update.

For example:

The message ‘You are using pip version …, however version … is available.’

If using pip3 and pip2, messages like this occur:

You are using pip version ..., however version ... is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

That means you need to update the version of pip itself.

To update pip3:

pip3 install --upgrade pip

To update pip2

pip2 install --upgrade pip

            Do you have any idea about below files like which package it belongs to

            [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/set/src/payloads/set_payloads/multi_pyinjector.py'
            [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/set/src/payloads/set_payloads/pyinjector_args.py'
            [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/set/src/payloads/set_payloads/shell.py'

            • Alex says:

              They belong to the ‘set’ package.

              What did you do with your system to get this state?

              • shaji says:

                After a fresh installation of Kali I ran below command. It ran for a long and errored. After that whatever I try to install the earlier mentioned files will come into picture as error.

                sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade

            • Alex says:

              You can try to remove (temporally) python3.9 package:

              sudo apt purge python3.9

              Then:

              sudo apt install -f -y

              Then:

              sudo apt install python
              
              • shaji says:

                Well, my problem is solved now. Thanks for your support. Seems the broken 3.9 version was the culprit.
