Hello,
and welcome to this community portal.
For getting support with 3rd party components / software not provided by Greenbone it is suggested to get in touch with the support community of that product. In this case this could be:
@nilah sounds like you have old or multiple psql versions installed?
apt-get remove —purge (package name)
or
reinstall kali..
Eero
There is a general overview of this process in the community docs: Kali Linux install troubleshooting section. You will need to adjust for the upgraded versions.
This is what I am getting;
sudo apt install postgresql-17 postgresql-contrib-17
Note, selecting ‘postgresql-17’ instead of ‘postgresql-contrib-17’
postgresql-17 is already the newest version (17.5-1).
postgresql-17 set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
docker-buildx libopenh264-7 python3-poetry-dynamic-versioning
icu-devtools libpoppler145 python3-pywerview
libabsl20230802 libpython3.12-minimal python3-requests-ntlm
libdnnl3 libpython3.12-stdlib python3-setproctitle
libflac12t64 libpython3.12t64 python3-tomlkit
libfuse3-3 libutempter0 python3-wheel-whl
libgeos3.13.0 libxnnpack0 python3.12-tk

libicu-dev python3-dunamai sphinx-rtd-theme-common
libjxl0.10 python3-nfsclient strongswan
liblbfgsb0 python3-packaging-whl
Use ‘sudo apt autoremove’ to remove them.
sudo systemctl start postgresql-17

I suggest starting from a fresh Kali installation and following our Guide for Installing Greebone on Kali Linux. From there, you can use the troubleshooting guide if needed. Unfortunately, providing support for basic Linux administration not common on this forum. 
@nilah just reinstall latest kali and then
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt -y update; apt -y upgrade; apt -y install openvas
gvm-setup
gvm-check-setup
