OpenVAS Scan failed (RHEL 8)

I have OpenVAS 21.4.0 installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
I have been running SCAN regularly, but half a year ago it suddenly became impossible to SCAN.
The thing that comes to mind is an update of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
The logs show the following.
Manual scans also resulted in the same error.
Please tell me how to isolate the problem.

Hi,

I really don’t have a clue what’s happening here. The failing code is some Python internal IPC connection issue which should never ever happen. As you are using atomicorp packages you should report this issue at their GitHub repo.
