Hello,
For two weeks ago, I have a problem for to install GVM 11 on my infrastructure (or rather, I updated a host which is updated GVM 11 and crashed). I’m on CentOS 7 and I use Atomicorp repositories for the installation of OpenVAS ( we do monthly scans).
But, for two weeks, when I try to install it (with yum install greenbone-vulnerability-manager), I have a problem with the package openvas-scanner :
error: %pre(openvas-scanner-7.0.0-9465.el7.art.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package openvas-scanner-7.0.0-9465.el7.art.x86_64
Verifying : openvas-scanner-7.0.0-9465.el7.art.x86_64
And in gvmd.log I have this
md main:MESSAGE:2020-08-31 10h20.46 utc:23791: Greenbone Vulnerability Manager version 9.0.0 (DB revision 221)
md manage:WARNING:2020-08-31 10h20.46 utc:23792: sql_open: PQconnectPoll failed
md manage:WARNING:2020-08-31 10h20.46 utc:23792: sql_open: PQerrorMessage (conn): FATAL: role "root" does not exist
md manage:WARNING:2020-08-31 10h20.46 utc:23792: init_manage_process: sql_open failed
I already tried to create manually the role, the database etc but next I have a problem with a function. So impossible to start the gvmd service. And if I try to install an old version, gvmd wants automatically update itself (and obviously dependencies too).
I looked for to see if someone had a similar problem but I found nothing (but an OpenVAS installation on CentOS seems not most common).
So, if someone had the same bug and has managed to solve it, I’m interested.
Thanks.
