Sorry on rereading my mail I find a mistake. My fault, your /etc/apt/sources.list should be
deb http://people.debian.org/~jfs/nessus/2.0.0 ./
Please check it is (not deb-src) and try again after an 'apt-get update'
Regards
Javi

No problem. That's because we're in the same timezone.
I used the nessus-installer.sh, downloaded from the debian.org-published link. Do I have to pay attantion to some special debian specific things? Do I have to remove the old installation before installing the new one by using the nessus-installer.sh? Should I remove the installation and use the debian-packages instead?
Yes. See below.
(removing the checkpointNG.nasl did not solve the problem :-( )
Well. You shouldn't have used the nessus installer. If you followed
the procedure I described (which was not exactly right) you should have had Debian packages. Do the following:
- Add this line to your sources.list: deb-src http://people.debian.org/~jfs/nessus/2.0.0 ./
- Upgarde your package listing: # apt-get update
- If you did not have nessus installed already: # apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl
- If you did: # apt-get upgrade or # apt-get upgrade nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl
Check that 2.0.0-2 packages have been installed: $ dpkg -l "nessus*"
You might want to either use update-nessusrc or remove/move the ~/.nessusrc file from the user running nessus if you used a previous Nessus version already.
Run nessusd (nessusd -D) and test with a run to see what happens. Place special attention to what gets printed in /var/lib/nessus.dump and /var/log/nessus/nessusd.messages.
I think I have not missed any steps. If you still get into problems (which you shouldn't, or, at least, I haven't) try removing first all nessus related stuff:
# dpkg --remove nessusd
# dpkg --purge nessus-plugins
<might ask you if you want to remove all the plugins you downloaded, say yes>
# dpkg --remove nessus-libraries libnasl
and then reinstall with:
# apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl
Best regards, hope that helps
Javi
PS: Be careful, though, the upgrade will also upgrade to libpcap0.7. Reanud recommends using the libpcap sources in the nessus source code.
