Unable to Run Scans due to missing port_list

I am running Openvas in docker and I am unable to successfully create targets for scanning due to “Failed to find port_list ‘33d0cd82-57c6-11e1-8ed1-406186ea4fc5’”. I have found similar posts to this such as [this case](https://forum.greenbone.net/t/failed-to-find-port-list-33d0cd82-57c6-11e1-8ed1-406186ea4fc5/16925). But have not been able to find anything that works.

I have rebuilt this 3 times within the last week and nothing has worked. As you can see from the images below the port lists are found within /var/lib/gvm/data-objects/gvmd/2*.**/, the images being used are the latest. Please let me know if you need anything more.





Hi, this should be fixed with the latest images. Just pull the new ones. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have seen several threads that are similar and that even mention the “Failed to find port_list ‘33d0cd82-57c6-11e1-8ed1-406186ea4fc5’” error that I am getting, but with some differences.
First, I have installed version 24.2 in Docker Containers using the instructions provided at Greenbone Community Containers - Greenbone Community Documentation
I have tried tried it on both Ubuntu and Debian distros a couple times with the same results. Everything seemed to go correctly during the installs.
When I try: find /var/lib/gvm/data-objects/ -name “33d0cd82-57c6-11e1-8ed1-406186ea4fc5.xml” I get “no such file or directory.” It does not appear that there is even a /var/lib/gvm directory. My feed status shows that everything is current.
Any help on getting this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, for your support here. I can confirm that this started working again with the new images.
