Summary	0009314: 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 https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/20539

kali-bugreport 2025-09-20 22:31 reporter ~0020838	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.
