Summary | 0000204: Msfupdate - doesn't update? | ||||
Description | When i run the msfupdate command, it ALWAYS says that there is no update available, but when i try this command on other distros, it ALWAYS updates something in Metasploit. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | run "msfupdate" | ||||
What version of metasploit is installed? Can you provide the output of: The Metasploit packages for Kali are updated once per week from Rapid7's stable update tree.

Output: ii metasploit 4.5.3-2013032001-1kali0 i386 Penetration testing and exploit development tool with web-based interface |

This will be fixed in next week's Metasploit update. A temporary workaround would be to run msfupdate in english: 2) On your install, apt-get update is not pulling the latest updates from the Kali server. When you run |
|
No problem, i want to help improving kali! 1) It doesn't seem to work for me! 2) Output of apt-get update: Seems everything's fine right? 3) nano /etc/apt/sources.list : deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free Again, everything seems fine, right? |
|
This has been fixed in metasploit-framework 4.5.3-2013040301. Since msfupdate is broken for non-english locales prior to 2013040301, users should use apt to update:
Plastico, we still need to understand why your apt cache isn't updating. Hopefully this was a timing issue and it is fixed now? |
