Summary0009314: Msfvenom breaks with upgrade
Description

Running into an issue with apt full-upgrade
Hit this bug on my usual build after upgrading.
Additionally, downloaded fresh image and redeployed and ran the following command successfully:
msfvenom -p php/reverse_php LHOST=127.0.0.1 LPORT=4444 -f raw

after issuing
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
the same command fails with the following errors
─$ msfvenom -p php/reverse_php LHOST=127.0.0.1 LPORT=4444 -f raw
[-] No platform was selected, choosing Msf::Module::Platform::PHP from the payload
[-] No arch selected, selecting arch: php from the payload
Error: Language option php is not supported. Expected one of [:default, :java, :jsp, :javascript, :python, :powershell]

I believe this error in kali may be related to this bug

AFAICT bugs in software shipped within Kali needs to be fixed by the developers of the software (and reported to them) and not by the Kali team.
