metasploit v4.4.0-dev : search function not working fully

[misterfitzy]

Ditto here,

First the search wasn't working for exploits, then after "svn up," I get the database error. Are the maintainers/developers looking into it? Even if its only documentation, something didn't get checked in.

It's fixed in lastest SVN, just run msfupdate and all is well!

This is what helped me fix it:

cd /opt/metasploit/common/lib
mv libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.0.9.8-b
mv libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.0.9.8-backup
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
msfupdate

and this:

gem install rubygems-update
gem update-system
gem update
gem uninstall pg
gem cleanup all
gem install pg
msfupdate


I'm a n00b, if someone could explain what this does I'd appreciate it.

Hope it works for you.

It's just a few hours later, and I did another update and picked up a new db_manager.rb... It looks like search is working correctly again. Do we thank HD?

oh my lord...
I just updated metasploit:
My version =[ svn r15595 updated today (2012.07.08)

And it's all working now.

I am now very tempted not to update metasploit for a little while.
So to sum it up, I did not update any ruby gems or pg. Just updated metasploit through msfconsole..

Would like to how other posters in the thread are faring...

Good Luck

I just ran msfupdate, and search is working normally.
