[SOLVED] Problem with SVN update & Metasploit

Hi guys!
I'm a newbie in these forum, so i post in this section.
Yesterday i switched from an other system to Arch. I have installed most of my programs without problems.
I love Computer Security, so I installed Metasploit, a software that i usually use.
I followed the wiki of arch and after installation i tried in msfconsole:

svn update

But the system said that it wasn't recognised as a command.
So in a new terminal i wrote:

pacman -S svn

After thes einstallation i tried again:

svn update

But the output wasn't good. I'll post it:

Skipped '.'
Summary of conflicts:
  Skipped paths: 1

After that i tried

msfupdate

But output was:

[*]
[*] Attempting to update the Metasploit Framework...
[*]

svn: E155007: '/opt/metasploit' isn't  a directory of the local copy
Skipped '.'
Summary of conflicts:
  Skipped paths: 1

I have tried to google for a solution but i didn't found any suggestion.
So please, may you help me?

Sorry for my bad english

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with SVN update & Metasploit

Are you actually working on the Metasploit code, or do you just want to run the latest version?  If you only want to run the latest version, there is an installation package in AUR which will compile and install Metasplot from SVN for you, ensuring it is properly integrated into your Arch system.

Otherwise if you're working on the code I suggest you re-download the SVN repository, because it looks like it may have been moved to a different path, and SVN or Metasploit is still looking at the path it was in previously.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with SVN update & Metasploit

Thank you for the answer.
I tried these: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2880
But if you say that i should use the other one, i'll try and then i'll tell you what appened.

[Edit]
The installation worked well and the database is updated.
But in the future, at least one time a week, i'll need to update it.
So i tried

svn update

But the output was again:

Skipped '.'
Summary of conflicts:
Skipped paths: 1

How can i fix it?
Thank you again for the help

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with SVN update & Metasploit

You shouldn't be using svn update to update Metasploit, you should be using msfupdate.

The problem is

svn: E155007: '/opt/metasploit' non è una directory della copia locale

I don't speak spanish, but google translate says "is not a working copy directory". Check that your user has write permission to /opt/metasploit.

Sorry for the language, anyway it's Italian not spanish
And it say:

svn: E155007: '/opt/metasploit' isn't  a directory of the local copy

When i use Metasploit i login as root. So i should have all the possible premission.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with SVN update & Metasploit

Sounds like it could be to do with deleted .svn files in /opt/metasploit. You could try some of the solutions here or go back to the metasploit src and make install again.
