Metasploit version

4.17

I installed Metasploit with:

• [x ] Kali package via apt
• Omnibus installer (nightly)
• Commercial/Community installer (from http://www.rapid7.com/products/metasploit/download.jsp)
• Source install (please specify ruby version)

OS

What OS are you running Metasploit on?
Kali Linux

[busterb]

can you type dpkg -l |grep metasploit-framework and paste the output?

[Zapfmeister]

Same issue on Backbox. Here is my output:

ii metasploit-framework 4.17.28+20181128103744~1rapid7-1 amd64 The full stack of metasploit-framework

[bollustrado]

Same error on Kali Rolling. I've tried to install msf4 via apt, installer and from source, but all are useless.
ii metasploit-framework 4.17.32+20181217103831.git.1.f3a2c06~1rapid7-1 amd64 The full stack of metasploit-framework

On other PC all work good.

Is anyone still having this issue? I'm guessing it was resolved some time in the past 6 months ...

[rahulsain]

i have
./msfdb init
Traceback (most recent call last):
./msfdb:16:in `

': uninitialized constant Rex::Text::Color (NameError)

[busterb]

I don't think this particular issue exists as it was originally reported. Closing.
