yersinia's GUI (-G) doesn't launch anymore

[TTY-001]

The utility's Graphical User Interface won't launch within the latest version of Kali Linux or Ubuntu (23.04).

The command: sudo yersinia -G executes but nothing happens (no error messages).

Remark: everything is installed properly including all the dependencies.

I should mention that yersinia.log file contains this line : pcap_open_live failed: dbus-session: Failed to get session bus: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message. I don't know if this has to do with the issue or not.

Indeed it won't launch.

$ uname -r

Gtk-Message: (...): Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"

PackageKit-gtk3-module v.1.2.6

As it appears in this OS, the equivalent module is named libpk-gtk-module, installed and provided by the PackageKit-gtk3-module-named package.

Nobody needs a parasite. That's awfully wrong to be sorry; if there is someone here that must not be, it is you.

Current workaround (still get some errors, but the Yersinia runs):

git clone https://github.com/tomac/yersinia /opt/yersinia
apt install autoconf libgtk-3-dev libnet1-dev libgtk2.0-dev
cd /opt/yersinia
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

then it should run. Look for errors throughout each configure or autogen command run for packages it tells you are missing.
