View Full Version : Problem with setoolkit and bleeding-edge
Hello everyone!
New to the forum.
So, I've had Kali for a while and today I decided to try the setoolkit (SET), but when I started it I got this message:
Kali bleeding edge was not detected to be on...
Kali install detected. Note that if you are not using bleeding edge repositories, your version of SET will be roughly 4 months behind.
It is recommended to switch to bleeding-edge repos to ensure you are running the latest version of SET and other tools.
Press [enter] to accept that SET is several months out of date and probably contains bugs and issues.
So, I added the bleeding edge repository this way:
echo deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-bleeding-edge contrib non-free main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
After that I tried to run setoolkit again and the same message appear! It is still out of date and it can't find the bleeding edge repositories...
Is there something else I need to do in order to get things working properly?
To be honest, setoolkit still works, but this warning message and the fact that SET is not up to date really bugs me out...
sudo apt-get distro-upgrade try this command.
I'm sorry, I meant sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Did not work. Although, Iceweasel got changed to FF after the upgrade. Has Kali switched to FF lately?
Anyway, the warning still shows, and SET is still out of date.

I would try restarting your machine. my SET was out of date for a very long time, and that's what it took for me.
I've also tried to upgrade SET from within, but doing so I receive the following message:
You are running Kali Linux which maintains SET updates.
You can enable bleeding-edge repos for up-to-date SET.
Also, SET doesn't seem to work properly either. Some of the options within do not work from my own computer, but I have used them before on another machine where I installed Kali Linux a while back, so I know in fact that it should work. Something is going on here...

I tried that. I always do after an upgrade. Still won't work I'm afraid...
there is an option to enable bleeding edge repo in the config file in /etc/setoolkit i dont know if it will fix your problem but worth a shot

I was having the same problem, I added to the sources.list and then saw a post about adding to the sources.list.d neither worked. I noticed the bleeding edge repositories were getting an Ign. For giggles I commented out "#deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib" which is the main repository and added the bleeding edge repository, what do you know SET and 13 other packages upgraded. I'm not a repository master to know what's the problem with Kali not taking the bleeding edge repository information as priority over the sana repository, for now, I have sana commented out. Below is what my sources.list has in it. I hope this helps you.

Actually to solve this, move to the rolling edition of Kali

I was facing the same issue but then did a little something which fixed i
go to /etc/setoolkit there you will see file called "set.config" open that file and press Ctrl+F ( the search function) and type in "BLEEDING_EDGE" and then you it will highlight the text and you will see the line that will say "BLEEDING_EDGE=OFF" go ahead and edit the "OFF" and write "ON" instead after that its supposed to look like this "BLEEDING_EDGE=ON" press ctrl + S to save it and close the file. open terminal and make sure you type as being root "setoolkit" and it will ask you to update and type yes and voila! your SET is up to date!
