The METASPLOIT update released yesterday, 13th August, it's not working on Kali when you try to launch the msfconsole.
The first bug appears on boot.rb file. It reports some error on something named like "GEMFILE".

**bob_saget** · 2014-08-14

root@Teddy:~# msfconsole
/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config/boot.rb:4: warning: already initialized constant GEMFILE_EXTENSIONS
[-] WARNING! The following modules could not be loaded!
[-] /opt/metasploit/apps/pro/metamodules/firewall_egress/modules/auxiliary/metamodule/firewall_egress.rb: LoadError cannot load such file -- firewall_egress/result_range

THis is what i'm getting. Very annoying.

I have the same issue after update kali yesterday. See screenshot with details.send.jpg

Rapid 7 is working on this issue: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=1668

I have the exact same issue!
Metasploit boots but it doesn't find any payloads, exploits,...

**3t3st3r** · 2014-08-14

thnx. i have already figured out it
i was able to launch msfconsole only under the metasploit dir
cd /usr/share/metasploit-framework/ && ./msfconsole
but before it u need manual setup postgress (make user, db and write it in database.yml)

waiting for fix

Its fixed now just update.

**Martijn1803** · 2014-08-15

how exactly? i already tried apt-get update && apt-get upgrade command, but it didn't fix the issue

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y worked for me.

I assume you are running the latest and great Kali?

**OS-13115** · 2014-08-16

Try

Code:

 cd /opt/metasploit

Then type:

Code:

 msfpro

the console should load then.

Or just type:

Code:

  cd /opt/metasploit && msfpro

this is a one line input method which does the same as the previous: msfconsole command.

**Martijn1803** · 2014-08-16

i'm running Kali 3.14 i368. unfortunately, your command didn't work either.

this is the output when i try to execute the msfconsole command (note that both the metasploit service and postgresql service are running just fine)

Fortunately I'm not using it at the moment but it's beginning to bug me I can't use the tools.

**PePeLeGal** · 2014-08-21

Today, the problem about GEMFILE was solved.
However, a new problem has appeared: msfconsole can't connect to the database.

yes confirmed

**zimmaro** · 2014-08-23

hey guys

I wanted to know if the "database connection" is a "bug-momentary" or now I have to create a "" new-my-db "" ??
Thanks in advance

PS:with last Framework Version: 4.10.0-2014082101 the ""problem-remains"..

&& i 've created a new db in postgres && new connections...now worked-fine...but it is the right way??

**PePeLeGal** · 2014-08-25

Thx for your help zimmaro!

I think the proper solution must come from metasploit dev team.
Will see if this week we gonna have this fix.

**PePeLeGal** · 2014-08-29

I agree zimmaro. Framework Version 4.10.0-2014082101 has a bug and is not connecting the database to the console.
I will wait until the next update.
