Summary0005749: Openvas not able to finish installation
Description

I have Kali 2019.4 installed into a Virtualbox machine (4GB, 2-CPU) fully updated and upgraded.

I'm trying to install openvas directly from the Kali repository (apt install openvas) as root, but it is not able to complete the installation process.

After downloaded and unpacked, during the "processing" stage (at around 97%), the installation stop with errors.
Checking "/tmp/tmp.dqbpol09MD/openvas-manage-certs.log" and "/tmp/tmp.dqbpol09MD/caopenvas-cert.cfg" give no clue about the error.

Steps To Reproduce

1) Update and upgrade Kali (my version is 2019.4)
2) Run "apt install openvas"

Additional Information

Virtualbox 6.0.14 with guest additions update at the same version.
Antivirus (Avast Free) on the host machine is disabled.

You can close this bug.

I reinstalled the machine and this issue not appear anymore.
I reinstalled using the official ISO instead of using the official vagrant file anyway.
