Hello:

As of 16 Dec 2017, Sparta on Kali Linux rolling release, the PyQt4 library will not import and Sparta will not start. (PyQt4 installed as of latest update = 4.12.1+dfsg-2

I have the same problem here, mate.
It seems they don't fix it yet.

I ran into this issue as well.
This seems to be a recurring issue and I found a temporary fix in an earlier occurrence of this issue.

#59

The edits were easy enough to do and I was able to get Sparta working again after making them. But the next time you update Kali you will probably be needing to go back and make the fix again

@mrosenhahn

It appears that the fix detailed in the link no longer functions on the latest version of Kali Linux. Thanks for the help. Hopefully, SECFORCE will issue a fix.

Looks like Sparta is done.

Still a problem inside latest Kali.
