Good news everyone,
I found the bug in gather-package-list.nasl and was able to retrieve a
package list from a Solaris box. The checks seem to have been executed as
well, but they don't seem to return a message just yet if I'm not
mistaken.
I've attached a KB of the test run in case anyone is interested.
The cause of the bug was the SuSE detection in gather-package-list.nasl;
it evaluated
("SUSE"><toupper(ssh_cmd(socket:sock, cmd:"cat /etc/SuSE-release")))
which is always true on most platforms (hint: Try 'cat
/etc/SuSE-release' on a non-SuSE system, uppercase the output of cat and
compare it to "SUSE"). I have commented out the SuSE test for now, it
would be great if someone with access to a SuSE system could write a
more reliable test.
Regards,
Michael
