msfupdate is failing with Syntax error on BT5 r3

Hi,

I am getting syntax error when trying to update metasploit using command msfupdate.


msf > msfupdate[*] exec: msfupdate

/opt/metasploit/msf3/msfupdate:79: syntax error, unexpected tLSHFT, expecting $end
<<<<<<< .mine

I am using Backtrack 5 R3 and when i tried to run metasploit I get more syntax errors. I have already tried apt-get update and apt-get upgrade

Please help

This is a metasploit issue not a Backtrack one.
Have you tried purging metasploit than installing it again?

Thanks for replying. I did not try this yet as I was worried if purging and reinstalling will break metrasploit's link with other scripts or application in backtrack.
But if this is not case then I think I will give it a go.

I tried command apt-get remove framework3 but it gave me message that framework3 is not installed.. What is correct command to remove and install metasploit in bt5 r3?

hi mannigill1, the folowing commands will do it for ya ;-)

cd /opt/metaspoilt
./uninstall

then download metasploit from the website www.mettasploit.com and install it as sickness suggested, am sure it will work for you, but just make sure you download the latest vision and just go for the default installation,

./metaspoiltyourlatestversion.run

good luck

I delete outlook.rb,It's fine:p

No need to delete the outlook.rb, simply edit the file (modules/post/windows/gather/credentials/outlook.rb) and delete the lines 35, 38 and 41. Ready, fix a glitch.

Regards,

Actually, it is only problem in one line:
'Version' => '$Revision: 16264 $',
Change it to be:
'Version' => ['$Revision: 16264 $'],

Of course, remove those lines which might injected by msfupdate:
<<<<<<< .mine
=======
>>>>>>> .r16327

Again, don't need to remove )) or list "end" line.

if it does not work, then try with Synaptic using (Couplet removal)
