whatweb problem ?

[storm]

I have a problem to start whatweb of backbox, I think it's a bug or am I wrong?
How can I fix.
Thanks, sorry for the trouble.

I don't really know what you are referring to as a bug here?

I just run whatweb on my system and got the proper output beside some harmless warnings with ruby:

I can not solve, I can not boot whatweb, I also uninstalled and reinstalled.
I'll wait, thanks. Sorry.

What to say, main dev knows about few issues but he didn't provided us with any solution for last 6 months.

EDIT:

sudo nano -c /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/rchardet/universaldetector.rb

Add on first line

# encoding: US-ASCII

Save and run again, if you have other ruby errors, just update gems sudo gem update and tool will work again.
