Hello! I've experience this error as well. The solution is to reinstall pacu completely.

If you installed pacu via pip, the following commands should fix your issue:

pip uninstall pacu
git clone https://github.com/RhinoSecurityLabs/pacu
cd pacu
poetry install
poetry run pacu

Did you try a fresh clone and poetry install of Pacu? Or pip install pacu after confirming there are no old versions installed?

[rawsGit]

I confirmed Pacu was definitely installed. Launching Pacu from commandline produces Pacu splash screen and end-user prompt to begin new session or continue with old. Both options, new and old, result with Pacu complaining. I tore down the VM and will be rebuilding a new one, soon. I will post an update next chance I get. Thanks.

Ok just ensure you are running the latest version of Pacu and let me know if it still fails. The error you described in the first post should not occur as that code was completely removed in version 1.5.0 https://github.com/RhinoSecurityLabs/pacu/releases/tag/v1.5.0
#381

One of the first actions taken upon new VM launch will be apt update && upgrade. Does this action ensure Pacu repo is upgraded to the latest and greatest version?

Either install option should install the latest version of Pacu: pip install pacu or git clone and poetry install
