Hey guys. 

I'm following the instructions above to install Kali / Parrot  to Qubes.

Both guides require a debian dist-upgrade to the testing release. Both guides mention the following:

Note: During execution of a dist-upgrade command read carefully list of packages to be removed. If it contains qubes-* packages, terminate operation and try to resolve qubes-* packages missing dependencies first.

This is exactly what happened. I have:

qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates qubes-core-agent-passwordless-root
  qubes-gpg-split qubes-img-converter qubes-input-proxy-sender
  qubes-mgmt-salt-vm-connector qubes-pdf-converter qubes-thunderbird
  qubes-usb-proxy

for removal.

I'm not advanced enough to know what to do to "resolve qubes-* packages missing dependencies first."

Could anybody help?

Thanks!

I had success with entering a command like this just before doing the dist-upgrade(don't remember all the packages):

sudo apt install qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates qubes-core-agent-passwordless-qubes-gpg-split qubes-img-converter qubes-input-proxy-sender qubes-mgmt-salt-vm-connector qubes-pdf-converter qubes-thunderbird qubes-usb-proxy

That, I seem to recall, removed the need for package removal and made my first easily installed kali based on debian-10.

Sincerely

Max
