I’m (occasionally) using GVM on Kali Linux. I did have it working a while ago, but I recently applied all current Kali Linux updates to the system, and now I can’t get GVM to work.
“gvm-check-setup -h” says installation is OK. (I know that script is provided by Kali, I mention it here only as a data point.)
But when I tried to launch a Task I was getting error message “Failed to find port_list ‘33d0cd82-57c6-11e1-8ed1-406186ea4fc5‘”.
I found various forum posts regarding this, but nothing seems to be helping; after successfully syncing both “gvmd-data” and “nvt” I’m not able to rebuild the config.
Here’s the terminal output of what I’m getting when I try to re-sync and build the config:

Help debugging and resolving this would be appreciated. Thanks.
