Hi Team,
Thanks for the update. Is there any workaround ? If there is please provide steps in details as i am new to kali linux. Thanks.

Hello, I seem to be having a similar issue.
Iβm running openvas on Kali Linux 2023.1, I was following documentation that was apparently outdated as the openvas-setup did not exist with Kaliβs OEM installed binaries, so I went ahead and installed openvas via apt and later found that gvm-setup is used in other instructions where openvas-setup would be, so I went ahead and ran that to set my openvas install up.
I received many errors, mostly to do with rsync and connecting to different servers, and the timeouts here is my gvm-setup terminal output:
(also please note that Iβm running as sudo yet still getting permissions errors)

Please let me know if I am missing something, have posted this in the wrong area, or should not be using this command gvm-setup in this manner (and can direct me to better documentation). Any help is much appreciated, but suffice to say the rsync unable to connect issue appears to be persistent (even if across different use cases)
Just a quick update, the feed should be working normally again. Thanks!
