Dear all,
I am trying to install OpenVAS 6 on Debian 7 via OBS, but am running into
the following issue:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
# apt-get -y install greenbone-security-assistant openvas-cli
openvas-manager openvas-scanner openvas-administrator sqlite3 xsltproc
rsync
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package openvas-scanner is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Unable to locate package greenbone-security-assistant
E: Unable to locate package openvas-cli
E: Unable to locate package openvas-manager
E: Package 'openvas-scanner' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package openvas-administrator
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The OBS repository configuration looks good, but the OpenVAS installation
fails with the above output.
Any help is very welcome.
Thanks, Helmut
Hans

Hi Helmut,

are you sure? I did an install some days ago and it worked fine (debian/jessie
32-bit).

Did you do an "apt-get update" before? You can also install the packages with
"aptitude".

Hope, this helps.

Best

Hi Hans,
I followed the commands provided on "
http://www.openvas.org/install-packages-v6.html#openvas_debian_obs" step
by step and all seemed to execute ok. May the issues be related to the
fact that I did run the installation on a Raspberry Pi running "raspian
wheezy"?

I have been able to install sqlite3, xsltproc and rsync without issues but
not any openvas package.

Thanks,
Helmut

Actually I want to save memory and am therefore trying to install OpenVAS
only, instead of using the Kali-Linux distro which runs OpenVAS besides a
few hundred other tools. So I am wondering what the difference in memory
requirements is?

Usually processing (updating) *.xml (CVE?) requires at least 2 to 4GB of
memory.

It might work, if you have lots of fast swap at least 4GB.

I am aware that OpenVAS on a Raspberry Pi will be pretty slow, but had it
running on a Kali Linux Distro with a 1 GB swap file on the SD card for
more than 6 month including a daily recurring scan and regular NVT
updates.
But, should the amount of memory really be the reason for failing to
install any OpenVAS packages?

well, not installing but usually cve xml update fails if, it runs out of
memory.

also scanning with plugins usually takes lots of memory.

Hi,
thank's a lot. I will try that one even though the link explains the
installation from sources, but not from packages.

Helmut
