I cannot reproduce this. Downloading the community feed on an OPENVAS FREE results in feed version 20260714T0300.

Which setup and version are you running? Note that only versions 25.0 and 24.10 are currently supported, and older versions are deprecated.

If you are using a supported version, I recommend to analyze your system logs at the time of the feed update to narrow down the problem.

From the log this gets downloaded from feed.community.greenbone.net

This is (largely) not what got asked. Please review the previous post and provide an adequate answer, especially to this:

Ok, this explains a lot. This container from a third party contributor is deprecated / EOL since many many years:

Please take a look at

for using more current versions of our software stack.

Agreed that the container is EOL and unsupported.

The only query is regarding the feed updates, which continued to be available from the community feed (feed.community.greenbone.net) until 2 July 2026 by the container. Is there any information regarding a delay in the feed updates?

Thanks!

Since the mentioned setup is end-of-life, it is likely that it uses a feed older than versions 24.10. or 25.0. Such old feed versions are no longer supported or provided by Greenbone and there will be no more updates.

Please contact the maintainer of your setup to switch to a supported feed version, or have a look at https://greenbone.github.io/docs/latest/ as suggested.
