Almost everyday update ~200MB

[mnikolovm]

How'd you do it?

sudo apt-get update

What should happen?

It should update as it do, but it takes about 200mb every other day and the old version is not deleted but stacked and i can not find it.
Today it get updated to 5.0.15+20190330165102
over 5.0.14+20190327174753
As you can see the last update was on 03.27 and the new is on 03.30. It goes from 5.0.14 to 5.0.15, but update like that happens every 2-3 days and the old version is NOT deleted but stacked and takes space. Where is it located?

Metasploit version

5.0.15-dev-

I installed Metasploit with:

https://github.com/trustedsec/ptf

OS

Ubuntu 18.04.02

As you installed Metasploit with ptf, it would make sense to read the ptf installer for Metasploit.

Presumably you're updating from the git repository. It's natural that the .git data will increase in size (it's currently ~500MB total).

Presumably you're also running bundle install to install dependencies. This will leave old dependencies installed. You can free up some space by removing unused dependencies. You can find Ruby gems for there are multiple versions installed with: gem list | grep ,.

For example, here's the results from a box I haven't cleaned in a while:

# gem list | grep metasploit
metasploit-concern (2.0.5)
metasploit-credential (3.0.3, 3.0.1)
metasploit-model (2.0.4)
metasploit-payloads (1.3.65, 1.3.62, 1.3.53, 1.3.40, 1.3.37, 1.3.34)
metasploit_data_models (3.0.8, 3.0.6, 3.0.5, 3.0.1, 3.0.0)
metasploit_payloads-mettle (0.5.7, 0.4.2, 0.4.1, 0.4.0, 0.3.8)

The older versions can be safely removed, unless you have other packages which depend on them, or multiple versions of Metasploit installed.

You are correct, sudo apt autoclean fixed the issue. 8 versions deleted. Thanks!
