As a workaround what you can do is drop in a file into the appliance:

  echo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtsk.so.19 > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-libtsk

However this indicates a problem with libguestfs on Kali Linux.
It probably just needs the package to be rebuilt to pick up the
new library name.
