[FIX] Script metasploit is broken: missing end of LSB comment

If you have seen this issue after you try to install something, simply do this to fix it. First, find out what is your metasploit init script look like.

Command :

root@kali:~# cat /etc/init.d/metasploit

You will see this result

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          metasploit
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Example initscript
# Description:       This file should be used to construct scripts to be
#                    placed in /etc/init.d.
# chkconfig: 2345 80 30
# description: Metasploit
#
exec /opt/metasploit/ctlscript.sh "$@"

The issue is happened because the script has no end of LSB comment. I'm little bit curious, what is lSB comment look like. So I see the other init script to find out about LSB comment. I look MySQL's.

#!/bin/bash

#

### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Provides:          mysql

# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog

# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog

# Should-Start:      $network $time

# Should-Stop:       $network $time

# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5

# Default-Stop:      0 1 6

# Short-Description: Start and stop the mysql database server daemon

# Description:       Controls the main MySQL database server daemon "mysqld"

#                    and its wrapper script "mysqld_safe".

### END INIT INFO

#

set -e

set -u

<snip>

  *)

echo "Usage: $SELF start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|status"

exit 1

;;

esac

See the different? YES! MySQL init script has END INIT INFO, in the other side, metasploit don't have any. So I try to insert END INIT INFO at metasploit init script. Now it just look like this:

#! /bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Provides:          metasploit

# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog

# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog

# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5

# Default-Stop:      0 1 6

# Short-Description: Example initscript

# Description:       This file should be used to construct scripts to be

#                    placed in /etc/init.d.

# chkconfig: 2345 80 30

# description: Metasploit

#

### END INIT INFO

exec /opt/metasploit/ctlscript.sh "$@"

And everything is OK now. Do apt-get install -f after you edit and save the file.

Command :

root@kali:~# apt-get install -f
