Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Installed openvas and tried to run a scan. In
/var/log/openvassd.messages the following is then logged for some hosts and the
scan never completes
[Thu Mar 28 13:35:17 2019][24429] [24429] release_connection_fd:
close() : Bad file descriptor
[Thu Mar 28 13:35:17 2019][24429] Severe bug! Unhandled transport layer -1
(fd=1000000)

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I found errors in /var/log/syslog

that referenced libxslt1.1 and found indications that this might have issues.
Tried the 1.1.29 version and the errors from the syslog disappeared, but the
errors in openvassd.messages remained
* What was the outcome of this action?
Did not resolve the problem
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Expected scan to complete, but it's stuck in a non-complete state for
some hosts and never finishes.
