after installing chromium-browser and removing these files from the lib directory it started to work.

libnss3.so
libnssckbi.so 
libnssutil3.so

Expected behaviour

-nvt

Steps to reproduce

run latest updates with ap-get update/upgrade

Environment

Operating system: [Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop]

I'm not really sure what to do about this.

One answer would be to stop shipping those libs, but then that requires users to ensure those libs are installed on their system, which they may not be if chrome/chromium aren't installed.

Or perhaps it is time to stop distributing ubuntu builds as a zip. I have been playing around with an ubuntu ppa, but I am not sure I would recommend using it as it only preserves the latest build of each package. But I have copied the produced debs to the 2.4.0 release, so maybe using those should become the recommended install flow for linux. These debs rely solely on system dependencies, including cef which is included there as its own deb. The downside of this approach is that there are maybe 100 dependencies, which will make offline installs be painful. (equally, trying to install decklink drivers offline will be similarly painful)

I am interested to hear from users on how they would like to see linux being packaged going forwards.
