I can not reproduce with version 1.0-11 from our repository.

Please, can you provide your version?

cd ~

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev libopenssl-ruby libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev ruby-dev

git clone https://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan.git

cd wpscan

sudo gem install bundler && bundle install --without test development

ruby wpscan.rb --url kali.org

have you tried updating it:)?

R4nger, yes it doesn't look like package has been updated yet.

Have a look here:
http://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=53

#!/bin/bash

rm -rf /usr/share/wpscan
git clone git://github.com/wpscanteam/wpscan.git
mv wpscan/ /usr/share/
apt-get update
apt-get install rubygems
gem install terminal-table
gem install --user-install ruby-progressbar

Fixed in wpscan_2.1+git20130625-1kali0.

Thanks
