Raspberry Pi 3B+
uname -a : Linux raspberrypi 4.19.66-v7+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 11:49:46 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

Manually upgraded Python to version 3.6.1 in Raspbian, after syntax issue using ver 3.5.3 .
After updating Python tried : sudo apt-get install recon-ng . Get error : unable to locate package recon-ng . Package manager still updates and loads other packages.

That's because Recon-ng isn't in the repository for whatever flavor of linux you are using. Not an issue with the framework. Please request the OS add it to their repositories. Thanks!

I'm running Raspbian (Debian Linux) from the R Pi website. I'm learning here, did not know of such things like this repository you are talking about needing to update. Interesting problems wish I had more time to look into it all. Thanks again.

That's basic Linux terminology. I recommend investing in learning the underlying systems before digging too far into the tools that use them. Otherwise you'll constantly be stuck in situations like this and have no idea how to fix them.

LanMaster53, I'm not really looking to go back to school to relearn a trade. I'm a getting to be old guy (56) with a BSEE way back in 1988. In my so-called career I wanted to get into networking and computers, instead I ended up working on large industrial DC drives (5-10 MW), radiation instruments, then high voltage gear up to 15kV (which i really did not like) in an aluminum plant. So the computer details side really suffered. Then there is the last 20 years on my own, where I said to hell with a lot of things. A few years ago I saw one of these Raspberry Pi's running on Linux and started playing around. So I'm just a self taught lackey I admit, trying to get better. When I do run into problems with the Pi or software, I usually just wait 6 months for them to update Raspbian and things smooth out. Anyway thank you for the emails it did force me to try some new things. All I wanted was to use an InfoSec tool, but you see how things go for me. I wish I had more time, still have too much work in my life. Preston Knodell III

Understood. I mean/meant no disrespect, but by diving into a tools without understanding the underlying system, you're "putting the cart before the horse" and it will just cause you more frustration. Good luck in your endeavors!
