Package: openvas-scanner Version: 5.0.7-3 Followup-For: Bug #863240 Ok, here is another workaround:
1. create a new openvassd.conf with this command as root: openvassd -s > /etc/openvas/openvassd.conf 2. edit /etc/redis/redis.conf and uncomment the following lines: unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock unixsocketperm 700 3. stop and start the following processes: openvas-scanner openvas-manager redis-server 4. Run openvas-check-setup again Note: I believe, the line "unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock" might be called "unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis.sock". Is this maybe a typo? This solution works fine for me. Any feedback is welcomne.
