Replace paramiko-ng With paramiko

[Arszilla]

Hey there,

I've been looking into packaging pwncat for Kali, as per https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=8522. However, During packaging, I noticed that 4 dependencies of pwncat will have to be packaged as well, one of which is paramiko-ng.

When paramiko-ng is packaged, it does not save itself under paramiko-ng space (i.e., ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko-ng/), but instead paramiko's space (i.e., ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/).

Unless the library is "patched" (preferably by the people who forked paramiko) to account for this change, it will conflict with paramiko and the 58 packages that depend on paramiko.

As a result, it is possible for you to change paramiko-ng with paramiko to facilitate the packaging of pwncat?

TIA.

Same goes trying to package this tool as an Arch AUR

I'd like to mention that the main paramiko project looks more active than paramiko-ng right now (December 2024). There were 3 paramiko releases this year while the last paramiko-ng release is from January 2022 and the last paramiko-ng happened in February 2023.
