You're barking up the wrong tree xensurve. This package is since a long time without a maintainer. The page tells you that: Maintainer: None. This package is orphaned.
Therefore there was no need for this all caps OOD message. Just adopt the package. It is up for grabs.
And dunno if you tested the package or are refering to the comment from 2023-02-16. If the latter, you should have noticed that the package had updates in the meantime and this specific comment may not be valid anymore.

@mfulz can you either fix this please or give the package over to someone that will

this package should require perl-xml-twig as a dependency (xml_split)

@mfulz What do you think about moving OpenVAS packages to BlackArch? I think it is the right place for it.

yep, pretty sure it was me who messed up regarding the permissiongs ;-)

mfulz commented on 2021-04-23 22:22 (UTC)

Thanks for the info I've added rsync as dependency. For the permission I think you messed something up during analysis as this is already set by gvm-libs-20

I added a set -x to the greenbone-nvt-sync script and could identify two issues:

  1. I think the combination of sudo -iu/su - with /dev/stderr in this script don't work well (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/38538/bash-dev-stderr-permission-denied) which is the cause for "Permission denied". This hides the real issue, namely

  2. there is an undeclared dependency on rsync. Installing it manually solves this issue

However, then I have to do 

sudo chown -R gvm:gvm /var/lib/openvas

otherwise rsync will fail to create stuff in the /var/lib/openvas/plugins folder. not sure though, whether I did something wrong somewhere to end up with this problem.

Same problem as r0b0t (although, for reasons, I went with sudo -iu gvm before). I installed the packages as stated in the wiki. First ospd Afterwards openvas-scanner ospd-openvas gsa gvmd

(There was a conflict: gvm-libs-20 and gvm-libs)

Can you check (if not already done) the wiki, which I've updated to work with these set of packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVAS

If you still encountering any issues afterwards, feel free to get back again.
