Plugin_add: Assertion category >= ACT_INIT && category <= ACT_END' failed

Hi ,

I am also facing the issue but it is not because the host is not resolvable, I have run a scan for the same before and got the report too.

Below is the error I am getting

event target:MESSAGE:2020-05-27 16h03.46 UTC:3103: Target main_server (0e42df8c-b215-450a-a2a9-fe5ba7f9bcb9) has been created by admin

Also, I did the nvt, scap and cert update some time back and after that, I am getting this issue

It is interrupting the task every time I m trying to run any scan.
Please help me in resolving the issue.
