Summary0004242: the msfconsole won't open
DescriptionI updated my Kali Linux machine today using apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.

I also tried to perform a apt-get dist-upgrade as well.

Afterward, when going to shell and inputting msfconsole, it would not load.

It provided this error:

I don't reproduce this issue.

Can you give me the results of the following commands?
- dpkg -s metasploit-framework
- ls /usr/share/metasploit-framework/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.3.0/gems/metasploit-payloads-1.3.7/data/android/
- dpkg --verify metasploit-framework

Maybe you can try "apt install --reinstall metasploit-framework" to reinstall metasploit.
