Vanilla installation of Kali Linux comes with both metasploit and metasploit-framework packages installed.
metasploit-framework package includes the free open-source framework only and keeps all its msf* binaries in /usr/share/metasploit-framework/
metasploit package includes both framework and Rapid7 commercial Metasploit Pro add-ons and keeps its msf* binaries in /opt/metasploit/apps/pro/msf3
All calls to msf* binaries, e.g. msfconsole, or msfvenom are currently resolved to those in /opt/metasploit/apps/pro/msf3/ directory of metasploit package.
Binaries in /usr/share/metasploit-framework/ don't even work out of the box: /usr/share/metasploit-framework/msfconsole doesn't start showing "Could not find rake-10.4.2 in any of the sources. Run `bundle install` to install missing gems." error.
So what is the purpose of keeping the metasploit-framework package installed on the system anyway? In what cases is it actually used?
