I tried installing OpenVAS with the shortcut in the Kali Menu and I keep getting an error.
I sets up the user and loads the plugins, it then gives the following error:
ms main:WARNING:28002:2013-03-29 21h59.24 EST: sql_x: sqlite3_prepare failed:
no such table: meta
Thanks in advance.
I just ran the openvas-setup from the Kali menu (latest ISO with updates) without encountering any issues.
The error is common based on Google, I suggest you look around maybe you can find a fix.

Generally OpenVAS will work if you run software update after first installing Kali and then the proper packages will then be installed. Otherwise "apt-get install synaptic" from the terminal then run Synaptic and check all dependencies are installed. The problem with installing OpenVAS sometimes is that if one of the mirrors is missing, out of date packages may be downloaded or some may be missing and you end up with the old problem of missing dependencies.
I'm about to install the latest version of Kali on PC (AMD64) so I will have a look and post back what I do to ensure it works. (Sorry I have to always run the the install of packages again to jog my old memory).
With ARM/ARMEL versions there are a few problems as the package names have changed a couple times recently.
I think I used "apt-get install openvas-scanner" then "apt-get install openvas-client" on armel architecture, though that was a while back so I'd have to run the install again on armel to remember if that was exactly correct. With PC architectures ensuring software update is first run before trying to install OpenVAS will ensure all packages are up to date and help avoid broken or missing dependencies.
when i use apt-get install openvas i have this errors
gsd: Depends: libopenvas5 (> = 5.0.3) but it will not be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held packages (hold) spoiled.
how i repair this packets
Hi,
First post here, pls be gentle...
I am unable to get OpenVAS started. I downloaded the latest .iso and installed to hard disk. I then did a Software Update before doing anything else. Followed the various setup guides and running openvas-check-setup all looks good.
openvassd - starts without issue
openvasmd - doesn't start and no message on screen. Checking the log I see 'pidfile_create': failed to open pidfile: No such file or directory.
gsad - same issue as openvasmd, and same error in the logs.
Please help! Tearing my hair out here! :)
Thanks
