Whats wrong with metasploit?

[11552]

A few days ago, mysql-server(5?) was unable to update. Now metasploit wont. I do in fact have multiarch enabled, but its only for a very specific package, so apt is not breaking packages by downloading i386 versions over amd64 ones.

You need to do a reinstall. There is nothing wrong with metasploit.

Hey guys, ive been having the same problem and was planning on running apt-get purge metasploit then reinstalling but last time i did this with vim it corrupted my hard drive and i needed to reinstall and really dont want to go through this again is that an ok procedure or is there something i havent thought about...Im sorry to bother you guys with the dumb question thanks in advance

I wouldn't use apt-get purge metasploit (seems like a bad idea)
use apt-get remove metasploit-framework
this should be enough, than reinstall

ok Toqu82 thank you it worked and is updateing now
