Bug description

With openvas 22.7.9, openvas version yields empty output, so the plugin fails with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "about-me.py", line 2271, in 'module'
  File "about-me.py", line 2091, in main
  File "about-me.py", line 958, in find_software
  File "about-me.py", line 2065, in run_regex
  File "re/__init__.py", line 176, in search
TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object, got 'bool'

Need to call openvas --version instead (or catch exception).
