Description:
After recent system upgrades, msfconsole stopped working. This might be a result of ruby-reline with version 0.3.1 breaking dependencies of reline (0.2.5) specified in /opt/metasploit/Gemfile.lock

Additional info:
* package version(s) metasploit 6.2.5-1 ruby-reline 0.3.1-1
* config and/or log files etc.
```
[tjm@ArchPad metasploit]$ msfconsole
Could not find reline-0.2.5 in any of the sources
Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.
[tjm@ArchPad metasploit]$
```

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Metasploit from pacman
2. Run command `msfconsole`

The error message is misleading and has to do with devendoring reline from ruby into dedicated stdlib meta packages. For vendored dependencies, bundler assumed them as system provided and did not vendor them into metasploit. The fix is a simple rebuild of metasploit, which makes bundler pick up reline and bake it into the vendor dir of metasploit
