Installation fails (debian sid): sleuthkit-java.deb cannot be installed

[IrregularLogic]

Hi,

I am trying to install sleuthkit and autopsy on a deb testing computer and get stuck during the process.

Step 1 in installation instructions - prerequisites

• execution of ./install_prereqs_ubuntu.sh works here, but I have to make file executable first and use ./ for starting.

Step 2 in installation instructions: - sleuth kit

• sleuthkit (4.12.1+dfsg-2) can be found in deb repositories - should it be de-installed first before doing anything else?
• execution of the sleuthkit java installer not working:

(as root): dpkg -i sleuthkit-java_4.12.1-1_amd64.deb
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Archivs sleuthkit-java_4.12.1-1_amd64.deb (--install):

Trigger für libc-bin (2.38-7) werden verarbeitet ...
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
sleuthkit-java_4.12.1-1_amd64.deb

How should I proceed?

What happens if you uninstall any and all version of Sleuthkit and then try and run dpkg -i sleuthkit-java_4.12.1-1_amd64.deb again.

• Removed sleuthkit installation via apt-get (synaptic) uninstaller,
• tried dpkg -i sleuthkit-java again, same results.

There is a similar issue for other distribution (kali) here: sleuthkit/sleuthkit#2822

But the steps to solve issues do not seem possible here as in 2822 sleuthkit should be (re-) installed via apt-get first and the steps order seems unclear to me, what to do/reinstall/remove first (really step-by-step).
