I'm trying out OpenVAS 9 (on Ubuntu Xenial; installed from the PPA) and
I can't get any reports out of it. When I run a scan, tcpdump shows
packets going to/from the target machine, but the result is always:

>> The report is empty. This can happen for the following reasons:
>> The target hosts could be regarded dead.

The target machine allows ping and has port 22 open. I've set the alive
test to "ICMP ping" and "Consider alive", no difference in behaviour.

I checked that redis has the "save 900 1" line commented out as
suggested elsewhere in the mailing list archives; and redis is running
OK.

The openvassd.messages log messages show nothing obviously unusual:

What can I do to get more debug information? Or can anyone suggest a
cause?

thanks,
