Ubuntu 22.04 - apt upgrade E: Failed to fetch http://downloads.metasploit.com/.../metasploit-framework_6.3.40...

[BeetleChunks]

I am attempting to install Metasploit using the commands suggested in the Docs.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-omnibus/master/config/templates/metasploit-framework-wrappers/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall && \
  chmod 755 msfinstall && \
  ./msfinstall

This results in an error like the one in issue 18192.

Err:1 http://downloads.metasploit.com/data/releases/metasploit-framework/apt lucid/main amd64 metasploit-framework amd64 6.3.40+20231020102649~1rapid7-1

E: Failed to fetch http://downloads.metasploit.com/data/releases/metasploit-framework/apt/pool/main/m/metasploit-framework/metasploit-framework_6.3.40%2b20231020102649%7e1rapid7-1_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 23.64.152.106 80]

I think I have identified the problem and that is the version within the link is not available. When I navigate to http://downloads.metasploit.com/data/releases/metasploit-framework/apt and look under pool/main/m/metasploit-framework the latest available version is 6.3.39. If you look back to the error message I am getting, you will see the version requested is 6.3.40.

I am not sure why this would be happening. This is part of an automated build pipeline that hasn't given me any errors before, so I am hesitant to think it is something I am doing. Please let me know if more information is needed.

same problem

Same problem on various distributions, all of the files listed here are also giving a 404 (maybe a server issue?): http://downloads.metasploit.com/data/releases/metasploit-framework/apt

Update: I am able to download the deb file directly via http://apt.metasploit.com (http://apt.metasploit.com/pool/main/m/metasploit-framework/metasploit-framework_6.3.39%2B20231019102707~1rapid7-1_amd64.deb). If I use apt.metasploit.com in sources.list, it tries to download "6.3.40+20231021102610~1rapid7-1" which does not exist (perhaps being compiled/will be added later)

Should be resolved now, the latest build 6.3.40 wasn't pushed up as expected - only 6.3.39 was available as spotted by some folk

same problem...again

I'm not sure what's causing the flakiness/race condition with the release process just yet, but I believe this is working again now.
