Answer



Okay.. I think I got why this happens..

https://www.trustedsec.com/january-2013/set-artillery-moving-github/

for some reason which is not yet clear to me, updating or removing & re-installing se-toolkit via the package manager doesn't fix the problem caused by trustedsec migration from svn to git. aptitude keeps trying to configure se-toolkit by accessing the old repository on svn, can't find it and prints the error.

neither the first part mentioned in the link including the svn update works.

the git part, though, works fine.

the only catch is that you first have to completely remove all of the previous se-toolkit files and configuration.
which is done by:

1) #aptitude remove se-toolkit
2) #aptitude purge se-toolkit
3) #aptitude clean
4) #aptitude autoclean

verify that it was removed correctly:

5) #aptitude search se-toolkit

now, navigate to the directory you want to place your git clone

and enter this in your bash:

6) #git clone https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit/ set/

it has a installer script written in python, run it and you will have a working se-toolkit in your system.

I think you have to update manually since the installation is not done via the package manager.
