It is a VirtualBox VM which had 2GB of RAM. Now I changed the VM memory

It was in fact possible that the problem was RAM-related, because just
before the crash occured I was editing the task (it is an alterable
task) to run over all the 35 IPs of my task in parallel. However, the
RAM increase didn't solve the problem

35 IPs in parallel is way too much, likely even for 4 GB
Hello again,

Yeah... I think some important thing did in fact get terminated by the
oom-killer. /var/log/syslog had some lines saying "openvasmd invoked
oom-killer", and the redis log also contains some warning lines about
that being a risk. Plus, the virtual machine has no swap. Unfortunately
I just typoed one command in the shell and deleted the log while trying
to copy it to another location so I can't post it here. :-)

However, the main question is: why the hell did the openvas installation
get bricked just because one of the processes was killed, and how can I
recover from this without reinstalling the whole guest OS? Isn't it the
job of openvas-check-setup to find this kind of problems?

no it's not the job of "openvas-check-setup" to fix bricked installations with a completly unknown state after random processes got killed by the kernel in the middle of operations - no software can fix that
