Bug 211428 – net-analyzer/metasploit-3.1 references non existent SRC_URI

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Muelli 2008-02-25 19:25:46 UTC]

I tried to emerge metasploit and it (surely) fails:
>>> Emerging (10 of 22) net-analyzer/metasploit-3.1 to /

!!! net-analyzer/metasploit-3.1 has fetch restriction turned on.
!!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded
!!! manually.  See the comments in the ebuild for more information.

 * Please download the framework from:
 * http://metasploit.com/projects/Framework/msf3/download.html?Release=framework-3.1.tar.gz
 * and move it to /usr/portage/distfiles


The interesting thing is, that the mentioned URL, namely http://metasploit.com/projects/Framework/msf3/download.html?Release=framework-3.1.tar.gz doesn't exist any more.

Instead, use
http://metasploit.com/framework/downloader/?id=framework-3.1.tar.gz or, what I like better anyway since it's wgettable:  
   
        http://sugar.metasploit.com/releases/framework-3.1.tar.gz



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge metasploit
2. see error message with given URL
3. try to open it

Actual Results:  
URL is non existant, or to be more technical: it just throws 

  <div class="dialog">
    <h1>The page you were looking for doesn't exist.</h1>
    <p>You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.</p>
  </div>


instead of further information or the tarball.

Expected Results:  
To be able to download the tarball.
