Hi, I'm a sucker for pasting commands from a howto in order to get something working. So I was happy to see http://www.openvas.org/install-packages.html#openvas_ubuntu_obs
But somethings a bit off there, at least when taken literally. I think it must be the repository step that's wrong, where it says: ... add-apt-repository "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/OpenVAS:/UNSTABLE:/v5/xUbuntu_12.04/ ./" Since that's results in an update with this error: W: Failed to fetch http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/OpenVAS:/UNSTABLE:/v5/xUbuntu_12.04/./Release Unable to find expected entry 'Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) And then, failure: # apt-get -y install greenbone-security-assistant gsd openvas-cli openvas-manager openvas-scanner openvas-administrator sqlite3 xsltproc 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 gsd 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 So assuming the repository has those files, in the prior step, as given, it's not added right. Now going to opensuse.org I see: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/OpenVAS:/UNSTABLE:/v5/xUbuntu_12.04/ with the files there. So that much looks right. Must be something about the "./" that follows it? I can just download the debs and install by hand. But it would be good if someone could fix web page documentation so that it works, for the next person to come along expecting it to.
