Hello,

During the pas few weeks my Openvas installation on kali was working fine. 
Managing my scans with GSA were ok. Last friday I added with omp various 
targets and tasks to prepare the next campaign for this week, then headed over 
the week end without doing anything else.

Now I try to start a task with GSA, but nothing happens. GSA hangs in a 
connecting state with openvas manager. There is no logs in either openvassd / 
openvasmd logfiles. 
Openvas-checkeup reports no prolem but only:

Step 8: Checking nmap installation ...
        WARNING: Your version of nmap is not fully supported: 7.12
        SUGGEST: You should install nmap 5.51 if you plan to use the nmap NSE 
NVTs.

Both openvasmd and openvassd are running, but still; nothing happens:

I suspect a communication problem between openvasmd and openvassd because the 
GSA interface works fine otherwise. 

I am using the latest version of Kali Linux with the last packages updates. 

Is there anything I can do to find out the root cause of this issue, as I'm 
completely blocked at this point.

Best,
