Just a guess: Your CPU doesn't have AVX support and whoever made that
Kali package should have produced an SSE2 binary, or provided fallback
binaries.
If you're not sure about your CPU, try this:
grep -q avx /proc/cpuinfo && echo Yep || echo Nope
If I'm right you should report it to Kali developers as a bug (unless
someone already did - is this the latest Kali?).
