opsd-openvas install failed

[LubinLew]

The pip version installed by default on Debian 10 is 18.1, which will cause the installation of ospd-openvas to fail.

root@debian:~/source/ospd-openvas-21.4.4# python3 -m pip install . --prefix=$INSTALL_PREFIX --root=$INSTALL_DIR --no-warn-script-location
Processing /root/source/ospd-openvas-21.4.4

Should upgrade the pip before install.

python3 -m pip install pip --upgrade

Another Issue:

chown: cannot access '/run/ospd': No such file or directory

I've just tested installing ospd-openvas in my local debian:stable-slim docker container and I am sadly not able to reproduce the issue

Nevertheless other users reported the same problem at https://community.greenbone.net/t/gvm-release-version-21-4-4/11506/18

[bjoernricks]

Ok from your output /usr/lib/python3.7/tokenize.py I think you are using Debian oldstable. In that case some python dependencies might be too old. Either change the installation according to https://community.greenbone.net/t/gvm-release-version-21-4-4/11506/22 or use Debian stable instead.

@bjoernricks

I use the offical image for OpenStack, it released on 20220320, should I use debian 11 ?

[bjoernricks]

I don't have a clue about OpenStack. You just need to decide if you want follow https://community.greenbone.net/t/gvm-release-version-21-4-4/11506/22 for Debian oldstable (Buster) or update to Debian stable (Bullseye). Our guide is for Debian stable.

[LubinLew]

OK, I got it. I was misled by the instructions below

This guide assumes that Debian Stable (Buster) is used as the Linux distribution. Most likely, a Debian derivate like Ubuntu and Kali will also work with only minor adjustments required.

[bjoernricks]

That sentence didn't got an update. We just missed it. I updated this sentence a minute ago.

@bjoernricks

Thank you for your reply.
I think INSTALL.md in the openvas-scanner project should also be updated.

[bjoernricks]

Thanks. I've created a PR for openvas-scanner.
