After I asked this question about Kali:
I am trying to instal OpenVAS to do vulnerability scan in Kali Linux.
VERSION="2022.3"
VERSION_ID="2022.3"
VERSION_CODENAME="kali-rolling"
Debian 5.18.5-1kali6 (2022-07-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
┌──(root💀kali)-[/home/kali/]
└─# apt update && apt upgrade -y
┌──(root💀kali)-[/home/kali/]
└─# apt install openvas
┌──(root💀kali)-[/home/kali/]
└─# gvm-setup
┌──(root💀kali)-[/home/kali/]
└─# gvm-feed-update -h
┌──(root💀kali)-[/home/kali/]
└─# gvm-check-setup
Error:
Step 5: Checking Postgresql DB and…

I tried to install it to Ubuntu. Same steps:
┌──(root💀ubuntu)-[/home/ubuntu/]
└─# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
┌──(root💀ubuntu)-[/home/ubuntu/]
└─# apt install openvas
┌──(root💀ubuntu)-[/home/ubuntu/]
└─# gvm-setup
┌──(root💀ubuntu)-[/home/ubuntu/]
└─# gvm-feed-update
┌──(root💀ubuntu)-[/home/ubuntu/]
└─# gvm-check-setup
Step 6: Checking Greenbone Security Assistant (GSA) ...
ERROR: No Greenbone Security Assistant (gsad) found.
FIX: Please install Greenbone Security Assistant.
ERROR: Your GVM-21.4.3 installation is not yet complete!

As discussed in Ubuntu and GSA installation the Ubuntu 22.04 currently doesn’t provide the required gsad packages and thus the packages are not usable:
About the initial question on the missing GSA:
Looks like the gvm package (which is getting pulled in when installing the openvas package) on Ubuntu 22.04 is depending on a non-existent greenbone-security-assistant package:
This means that you will never get a working GSA installation by just using the packages provided by Ubuntu 22.04 directly (only the upcoming Ubuntu kinetic seems to provide the Ubuntu – Details of package gsad in kinetic replacement package) and not sure if you can compi…
