When using a fresh instance of OpenVAS, users might encounter the error: Failed to find port_list '33d0cd82-57c6-11e1-8ed1-406186ea4fc5' while attempting to initiate a scan. This issue can arise for several reasons.

To ensure a fully functional and error-free instance of OpenVAS, it should be built from source to obtain the latest version. As of now, there is no single online command to accomplish this. Below is the script for installing OpenVAS on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. While it might also work on Debian, this has not been tested.
