Remnux upgrade issue seems to be related to frida-tools

[karaface]

Having trouble with remnux upgrade, appears to be related to frida-tools not being able to be updated due to wheel issues even though wheel package seems to be up to date.

Not sure.

Hi @karaface , you are correct in that this issue appears to revolve around the installation of the latest version of frida-tools. This issue was just recently identified here on the frida-tools GitHub. We'll keep an eye on it and update as soon as we have more information.

Cheers!

The issue occurs because of how the version detection is done in frida-tools >=12.4.0. It uses type hinting syntax only supported in Python version 3.9 and up. In this case the setup is failing at this line.

A workaround would be to set - name: frida-tools==12.3.0 in the Frida salt state file, or make it upgrade using the already installed python3.9 (could not find any salt files that does this, unsure if possible).
