Hello, I am new to this tool. trying to learn what I can. I installed from the githib repo as described in the link above.
its running a VM.
Trying to understand why this error is appearing:
Blockquote
gvm@greenbone:~$ ospd-openvas

The very last line lead me to finding this info:
Blockquote

gvm@greenbone:~$
Im not understanding why the installed version became 21.4.0 ?
Is there a way to roll it back to 20.8.3.dev1?
This is in a VM and it is easy enough to wipe it out and re-install it, to verify these results are duplicated, if recommended?
Thank you.
