W3af_gui error (when scan is started):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/w3af/core/ui/gtkUi/main.py", line 590, in startScanWrap
self.w3af.start()
File "/usr/share/w3af/core/controllers/w3afCore.py", line 417, in start
self._realStart()
File "/usr/share/w3af/core/controllers/w3afCore.py", line 602, in _realStart
self._end( e )
File "/usr/share/w3af/core/controllers/w3afCore.py", line 676, in _end

I think this is a duplicate, but this needs to be fixed, this tool isnt usable.

Plus, its an old version. If you can, update it.

Thanks.

Steps To Reproduce

w3af_console error: just open it.

w3af_gui error: start a scan.

Additional Information

Backtrack 5 r3 had a newer version, how can this have an older version?
