Hello,
My metasploit instance was having trouble, so i tried to purge it and then reinstall. The purge was successful, but I could not reinstall metasploit because apt-get and aptitude seem to think te package does not exist.
So then I used "apt-get remove metasploit" to completely remove metasploit. I am trying to reinstall it from scratch but I run into the following errors (msf doesnt exist):
root@Imperiax:~#
root@Imperiax:~# apt-get install metasploit

E: Unable to locate package metasploit
root@Imperiax:~# apt-get install metasploit-framework

Package metasploit-framework is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'metasploit-framework' has no installation candidate

Thoughts? I am at a loss here, short of completely rebuilding my Kali image from original ISO. FYI, I am using the "bleeding edge" updates. However, this problem occured prior to me enabling that today.
