Metasploit Update: Error In Bundle Install ( nokogiri 1.6.8 )

Metasploit was working fine until this morning when I updated it with msfupdate, then all went to heck.

Typing msfconsole Now gives me this error:

Could not find nokogiri-1.6.8 in any of the sources
Run bundle install to install missing gems.

I went and typed bundle install. It was going fine until this happened:

An error occurred while installing nokogiri (1.6.8), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.8' succeeds before bundling.

I started searching and came across this, which suggested that I should run bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries

But again, nothing. I also tried gem install nokogiri -v 1.6.8. I also tried even older versions: gem install nokogiri -v 1.6.0.

I'm using Kali.

EDIT: I think the solution is that I should reinstall Kali; One thing i learned from all this is to NEVER update MSF :D

@RUser98 --

I found this answer on the Unix Stack Exchange site maybe it will help you?

If you get a error installing nokogiri-1.6.8 try to:

sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev --yes

I've also had numerous issues with installing/updating Metasploit on Kali each time something new so I feel your pain
