I am running the program Volatility on a Kali Linux machine. However, whenever I try the command

vol -f <memdump name> <plugin name>

I get the error

ERROR: volatility.plugins.fileparam: The requested file doesn't exist

I tried downloading the source code and running Volatility as a python script, and I've tried changing and for the command above, but the error persists.

Any idea how to fix it?

Replacing the memdump name with the absolute path of the memdump name seems to do the trick. This is clearly a bug with the program.
