Installing OpenVAS in Kali

[ONiel]

Hi

I need to install OpenVAS in Kali and followed this tutorial:
https://www.kali.org/penetration-tes...lity-scanning/
But it didn't work.

I know you normally are not allowed to post how-to tools thingies, but in this case it has nothing to do with the tool itself.
However, I've got problems with the Kali-tutorial; so maybe it's rather a problem
with the packaging Kali has?

So, how do I install OpenVAS in Kali?

I'm using Kali Linux 2.0 AMD64 in an Oracle Virtualbox.
Everything is working, I can install other packages, but when installing OpenVAS I get this error:

E: Unable to locate package openvas

My command:

apt-get install openvas

Thanks!

OpenVAS is in the repos...I'd check your /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure it's correct. If you're not sure, verify it against what's listed at docs.kali.org

Yeah, it's not in it. I got something from OpenSuse?
Shouldn't it be in it by default?

[ONiel]

It's weird. In the live-version OpenVAS is found, but when I install it it ain't found anymore.

So your /etc/apt/sources.list is correct, but OpenVAS isn't found? Are you running the latest version of Kali?

I just installed openvas a couple of days ago without any problems. What did you mean when you wrote Yeah, it's not in it. I got something from OpenSuse?? Is that in reference to your sources.list?
