That's certainly fair.  I'll try to get that for you, but I'll need some
instruction or time to research how to do this.

Alternatively, I can make available my vmware appliance with that base
installation set running.

I did stumble upon some news that might help things.  I was frustrated and I
wiped out my entire /usr/lib/openvas/plugins directory and ran
openvas-nvt-sync to make sure only the exact feed contents were being run,
and the tests ran through without the error.  Also, I received much less
trouble from starting openvasd because dependencies were all met.  Perhaps
there are outdated or incomplete plugins in the plugins rpm?  On the
downside, I'm missing port scanners and a huge number of checks, which makes
sense because the feed seems to contain the Debian local security checks
only (according to http://www.openvas.org/openvas-nvt-feed.html).

Sorry if I sound needy - I really want to understand the project and its
inner workings, and I'd really like to help it grow in any way I can.
