The fixed files are available at: https://github.com/netseevol/kali-gvmd-bugfix — the repository also contains the files in case someone wants to build the package manually.

To make gvm-setup work properly, the following files need to be installed on top of a Kali OpenVAS installation:

gvmd_26.2.1-1_amd64.deb gvmd-common_26.2.1-1_all.deb

instructions:

apt -y install openvas wget https://github.com/netseevol/kali-gvmd-bugfix/raw/refs/heads/main/gvmd-common_26.2.1-1_all.deb wget https://github.com/netseevol/kali-gvmd-bugfix/raw/refs/heads/main/gvmd_26.2.1-1_amd64.deb apt -y install ./gvmd_26.2.1-1_amd64.deb ./gvmd-common_26.2.1-1_all.deb gvm-setup ; gvm-check-setup
