Volatility was functioning, now errors out #518

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Any call to volatility. I had it aliased, but even doing 
/usr/share/volatility/vol.py -f $file imageinfo (or --help, or any other 
module) will create this error.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? When I do --help, I expect help, instead I see

Volatility Foundation Volatility Framework 2.4
Traceback (most recent call last):

Exception: Object VirtualBoxCoreDumpElf64 has already been defined by <class

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Looks like 2.4, on Linux "redacted" 3.12-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 
3.12.6-2kali1 (2014-01-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

I can't possibly think of what's changed, except perhaps me running an apt-get 
update && apt-get upgrade, but something seems to be broken somewhere.

Please try clearing out all *.pyc files that might have been created in 
/usr/share/volatility, and try rerunning it again (probably a filename changed, 
or got rearranged).

If you're still having problems, please file a new bug on github (which is 
where all development has moved to).

Marking as Invalid, since this should be filed on Github now...
