@medoix
Original file was updated few days ago which made me to close this issue. I'm not sure if this fix still works.

Above link is fixed

Sadly, for me, the first part was not a fix. Followed steps exactly. Since katoolin is not a directory, removing w3af was not an option that I could pull off in nano, so I used nano & cleared out the katoolin file in usr/bin/ and replaced it with the github code linked. Still getting same error message "Package 'w3af' has no installation candidate". Also running debian 9 without option to use ubuntu. Thank you for linking w3af setup, I am going to try to set that up and see if it helps.

None of the methods worked for me so after adding the repositories I executed the following command to install all tools except w3af

This worked for me .

The above fix still works, but you may need to modify the source to have the shebang (#!) as first line, otherwise katoolin will fail by attempting bash execution instead of the python interpreter (at least on my ubuntu installation). From this: ` # Original file: https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin

# Removed w3af # if you want to install w3af install it manually from here: http://docs.w3af.org/en/latest/install.html

!/usr/bin/python

import os import sys, traceback `

To this: `

!/usr/bin/python

# Original file: https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin

# Removed w3af # if you want to install w3af install it manually from here: http://docs.w3af.org/en/latest/install.html

import os import sys, traceback `

Is there a reason this isn't committed?
