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 gives the follow error:
<...>

If I check "/tmp/tmp.dqbpol09MD/openvas-manage-certs.log" I have:
Generating a 3072 bit RSA private key...

Error loading template: /tmp/tmp.dqbpol09MD/caopenvas-cert.cfg
checking "/tmp/tmp.dqbpol09MD/caopenvas-cert.cfg", I have:
expiration_days = 3652
country = "DE"
locality = "Osnabrueck"
organization = "OpenVAS Users"
unit = "Certificate Authority for kali.' " ' ' "
ca
cert_signing_key
crl_signing_key
But here I don't know what to check...
Country and locality are wrong (I'm from Ireland) but maybe they are a default value.
Looks like "unit", "ca", "cert_signing_key" and "crl_signing_key" are not set but maybe at that moment the installation was interrupted.
What do I have to check? The problem looks like about the cert creation, can I create one before the installation and pass to the installer?
Thanks
EDIT
I reinstalled the machine and this issue doesn't appear anymore. This time I installed Kali using the official ISO instead of the official vagrant file, maybe this was the issue.
