Hi,

I tried to install openvas on a plain CentOS recently and I had problems
too, including the one you reported.
After 3 or 4 reinstalls and some information mining on net, it worked.
The process I used that worked was like:

1.Desable SELINUX

vi/etc/selinux/config
...
SELINUX=disabled

2.Install wget
yum
install wget -y

3.Update OS
yum update -y
reboot

4. Install atomic repository
wget-q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

5. Change /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file
Include “exclude=libmicrohttpd” in all configs of the file, some sample:

 *[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
exclude=libmicrohttpd* *
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

*

*

   1. released updates

*

*[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever- Updates
mirrorlist=
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
exclude=libmicrohttpd
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6*

6.Install some packages using yum:
libyaml
fakeroot
fakeroot
python
rpm-build
make
m4
gcc-c++
autoconf
automake
redhat-rpm-config
mod_dav_svn
mod_ssl
mod_wsgi
gsd

7.Install OpenVAS
yum install openvas -y

8.Run "openvas-setup" for OpenVAS config
openvas-setup
openvas-certdata-sync
openvas-nvt-sync
openvassd
openvasmd –rebuild
openvas-mkcert -f
openvas-check-setup

After this, openvas-check-setup it should return “It seems like your
OpenVAS-6 installation is OK.” message

7. Configure "/etc/sysconfig/iptables", including the following lines:
...
-AINPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-AINPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 9392 -j ACCEPT
...

Run “service iptables restart”

8. /usr/share/openvas/openvas-lsc-rpm-creator.sh
Change line:
MD5="001440a0272902dbcf1a6e242c26124c"
for:
MD5="60a13a2ed1228b66d53423898c2ab38c"

Change line:
#%install section... do it now, and then disable it,
for:
#install section... do it now, and then disable it,
