Troubleshooting - Upgrade Metasploit 404 Not Found

[suduma]

It seems either the repos are out of sync again or I am using an older repo and need to update and need help finding the correct answer to this.

What I have tried

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade - this is where the error is printed

apt-get update --fix-missing - doesnt resolve the issue

rebooted and tried above again still no resolution.

Error when upgrading:
Err http://http.kali.org/kali/ kali/main metasploit-framework amd64 4.11.3-2015063001-1kali0
404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/m/metasploit-framework/metasploit-framework_4.11.3-2015063001-1kali0_amd64.deb 404 Not Found
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Thank you Crash, I have tried msfupdate and it did not resolve the issues with the version problem so I have since uninstalled it and it and still receive the error when trying to re-install.

If you browse in a browser or wget to where the file is looking it doesn't seem to exist..
The requested URL /kali/pool/main/m/metasploit-framework/metasploit-framework_4.11.3-2015063001-1kali0_amd64.deb was not found on this server.

There is also another thread about the same issue here:
https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=es&u=https://foro.elhacker.net/gnulinux/problemas_al_actualizar_kali-t438915.0.html&usg=ALkJrhjjUf-k-9SU77Z2zfdCj59aH3G9Rw

Could this be a problem with the kali repos?

Maybe something wrong with the cache that apt-get update wont fix?

I have also tried installing from source but ran into ruby version issues and dont want to go any further in fear i may mess up the system.

Calling all smart kali guru's for assistance please help!

Hi Man!

So, please check your repositories:
Official & default values -> http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories
Enabling Bleeding Edge Repo -> http://www.kali.org/kali-monday/bleeding-edge-kali-repositories/
Official Mirrors -> http://docs.kali.org/kali-support/kali-linux-mirrors
Your mirror -> http://http.kali.org/README.mirrorlist.

Also, if not fix, please wait one more day and try again.
If the problem persists, write me again.


Thanks (:

I too am having the same issue. Guess I'll wait a day and try again.

My issue was an exact duplicate of what was going on above. I was using the vmware image from offsec's website. I decided to download the latest version of kali from kali's website. after installing and upgrading, I no longer have any issues with the metasploit framework issuing the 404 not found error mentioned above. It could be an issue with the vmware image and how it is currently set up?

update: After running apt-get update/upgrade on the aforementioned vmware image, it looks like the updates went through just fine. As Crash said, wait a day or two and it will be ok. no more issues here.

I also confirm it is now working and the repo issue seems to be resolved with no additional changes on my end.

For me, updating the sources.list for the http://http.Kali......etc to http://repo.Kali....etc. not only fixed my 404's but is now considerably faster.
