I reinstalled the latest stable release of OpenVAS-7 (including libs),
but the behavior persists.

"sql_giveup: cannot initiate a transaction within an existing
transaction" found in openvasmd.log

I did some research on sqlite3 and I found that the error might be
associated with the fact that sqlite3 does not support nested transactions.

Does openvasmd run nested transaction against sqlite3 when you run a
clustered scan?

Thanks.
