Summary0008961: GVM-SETUP fails with Creating Database Error
Description

During the initial install of OpenVas/GVM on a new kali VM as of 10/15/24 I receive the following error regarding the package install.

createdb: error: database creation failed: ERROR: template database "template1" has a collation version mismatch
Detail: The template database was created using collation version 2.38, but the operating system provides version 2.40.
Hint: Rebuild all objects in the template database that use the default collation and run ALTER DATABASE template1 REFRESH COLLATION VERSION, or build PostgreSQL with the right library version.

Isn't the message already stating what to do? Otherwise probably better for PostgreSQL support.

The message does state how to resolved, but please take note it isnt talking about my active database. it is talking about the template housed within your repo install package. I submitted this so that the repo could be updated with a fresh template that works out of the box.

This is a fresh attempt on a brand new VM and Install of GVM.

Not my repo, not my template and probably also not a template of Kali :-)

Understood, Hopefully it is someone else's here as GVM points people from their site directly here to report bugs.

See this link or the attached screenshot:

That seems be valid for the installation of that GVM software, but issue here is about the PostgreSQL database packages which are probably getting pulled directly from Debian by Kali.

Thanks for the report. I'm currently working on the update of the GVM packages and I identified this issue.
I will let you know when the fix is available in kali-rolling
