Hello,
I'm using Kali and update regularly. Since a few weeks updating Metasploit keeps failing and hanging. That's annoying but also the cause why dist-upgrade keeps failing.
I'm running Kali in a VMware (Vmware fusion on OS X) which works fine so far. The following is what I get when trying to install or upgrade Metasploit:
Code:
root@kali:~# apt-get install metasploit
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
metasploit-framework
The following packages will be upgraded:
metasploit metasploit-framework
2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 66.0 MB/208 MB of archives.
After this operation, 202 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
0% [Waiting for headers]
I've read it could have something todo with metasploit switching from svn to git. Rapid7 writes in their blog (https://community.rapid7.com/thread/3622) about that, that in kali apt-get update should suffice. Unfortunately it does not. I haven't messed around with sources.list, just added the bleeding edge sources.
Is there something I can do to repair this? My only other options seems to remove Metasploit and pull in the lastest git version.
Thanks.
