cd ~/Downloads
wget http://http.kali.org/pool/main/libj/libjlatexmath-java/libjlatexmath-fop-java_1.0.6-1_all.deb

(just in case it fails access the link and download it...)

sudo apt-get install ./libjlatexmath-fop-java_1.0.6-1_all.deb --allow-downgrades
sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/pin-jlfop >/dev/null <<EOF
