[kishwordulal1234]

Description: I am experiencing an issue with the GVM-22.4.1 installation on my system. When running the "gvm-check-setup" command, I am getting an error message that says "OpenVAS Scanner too old or too new: 22.6.2~git-68bf4de1-main", even though I have tried downgrading and re-installing the OpenVAS Scanner multiple times.

Steps to Reproduce:

Install GVM-22.4.1 on a system.
Run the "gvm-check-setup" command.

Error Result: ERROR: OpenVAS Scanner too old or too new: 22.6.2~git-68bf4de1-main Full error : ┌──(unknonehart㉿unknnonehart)-[~] └─$ sudo gvm-check-setup [sudo] password for unknonehart: gvm-check-setup 22.4.1 Test completeness and readiness of GVM-22.4.1 Step 1: Checking OpenVAS (Scanner)... ERROR: OpenVAS Scanner too old or too new: 22.6.2~git-68bf4de1-main FIX: Please install OpenVAS Scanner >= 22.4.

Additional Information:

The system is running on Kali Linux 2023.1.
I have tried downgrading the OpenVAS Scanner to version 22.4.*, but the error message persists.
I have also tried uninstalling and re-installing the GVM-22.4.1 package, but the error message still persists.
The error message suggests that the OpenVAS Scanner version is either too old or too new. However, I have verified that the version of the OpenVAS Scanner installed on my system is 22.4.2, which should be compatible with GVM-22.4.1.

I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Thank you.

Hello,

This docker version is not from us. If you want support using docker, please follow our documentation, if there occurs any problems, please do what @cfi-gb mentioned.

We are not the creator of the gvm-check-setup tool you mentioned, which belongs to Kali Linux. AFAIK there are a lot of problem solving in our forum. When you want to build our software from source and need help, I again would refer you to the documentation of source building.
