$ cd /opt
opt$ ls
google lol sublime_text tor-browser-en wine-staging metasploit
opt$ cd metasploit

subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
metasploit
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

/etc/init.d/metasploit: 15: exec: /opt/metasploit/ctlscript.sh: not found
anyone who has experience can help me solve this?
