Summary0002875: arachni_web - arachni does not seem to contain web-based user interface anymore
Description

(As i'm a first time user of arachni, i assume that...) arachni normally contains an executable called arachni_web to start the web-based user interface.

In kali 2.0 sana there's no such file anymore in the arachni package.
As can be seen on http://tools.kali.org/web-applications/arachni and various installation videos, arachni_web apparently once was part of package arachni, so i submit this as "Kali package bug". Maybe things changed and arachni now works / is packaged in another way, but i didn't find any hint for that.

I couldn't find a way to start / use arachni. See additional information for version details.

Steps To Reproduce
  • install kali 2.0 sana, do not change default repository
  • apt-get install arachni
  • try to find arachni_web

arachni_web is not in the package arachni anymore.
Upstream removed it. Upstream changelog mentions: "Web User Interface -- The new interface is aproject of its own and not part of the framework"

The Arachni Web User Interface is not yet in kali.

Moving the request to "New Tool Requests" since the question is effectively, do we want to package arachni-ui-web or not?
