The bug was introduced by the following commit a60e048 . Reverting it makes the command work again.

For now I've included a patch in kali's package to fix it and be able push the latest version 6.3.36 to our repo

Metasploit version

6.3.36 but also with latest changes from this repo

Thanks for raising the issue! This should be fixed in the next minor version that gets cut in ~35 minutes from now - version 6.3.37 I believe

If there's anything else that's come up, we'll try to get it sorted 👍
