Summary	0000657: Apt get update is not getting proper index for files on repos to install
Description	apt-get update apt-get install metasploit .... Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/non-free/m/metasploit/metasploit_[B]4.7.1[/B]-2013100901-1kali0_amd64.deb 404 Not Found ... [/CODE] Please note that in sources it tries to find 4.7.1 while [url]http://http.kali.org/pool/main/m/metasploit-framework/[/url] you can see that they updated it on October 17th with 4.7.2 So, I wonder why apt-get update didn't pick it up? When I manually downloaded the file and tried to [HTML] dpkg -i metasploit-framework_4.7.2-2013101601-1kali0_amd64.deb .... dpkg-deb: error: `metasploit-framework_4.7.2-2013101601-1kali0_amd64.deb' is not a debian format archive [/HTML] WEIRD!!!! is this an issue on my side or their side with apt-get??? It seems like their pool is not indexed correctly after rapid7 team made a push to kali repo 2 days ago.
