Dear Fernandez,
I am so sorry, but
I uninstalled the nessus and I did the actions, described from you, but
after 

>># apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl<<

I only get

>>Reading Package Lists...
>>Building Dependency Tree...
>>E: Couldn't find package nessus-libraries

Thank you for your support!

jens melle.

        Yes. See below.

        Well. You shouldn't have used the nessus installer. If you followed
the 
procedure I described (which was not exactly right) you should have had 
Debian packages. Do the following:

- Add this line to your sources.list:
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~jfs/nessus/2.0.0 ./

- Upgarde your package listing:
# apt-get update

- If you did not have nessus installed already:
# apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl

- If you did:
# apt-get upgrade
or
# apt-get upgrade nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl

Check that 2.0.0-2 packages have been installed:
$ dpkg -l "nessus*"

You might want to either use update-nessusrc or remove/move the 
~/.nessusrc file from the user running nessus if you used a previous 
Nessus version already.

Run nessusd (nessusd -D) and test with a run to see what happens. Place 
special attention to what gets printed in /var/lib/nessus.dump and 
/var/log/nessus/nessusd.messages.

I think I have not missed any steps. If you still get into problems 
(which you shouldn't, or, at least, I haven't) try removing first all 
nessus related stuff:
# dpkg --remove nessusd
# dpkg --purge nessus-plugins
<might ask you if you want to remove all the plugins you downloaded, say 
yes>
# dpkg --remove nessus-libraries libnasl
and then reinstall with:
# apt-get install nessusd nessus nessus-plugins nessus-libraries libnasl

Best regards, hope that helps

Javi


PS: Be careful, though, the upgrade will also upgrade to libpcap0.7. 
Reanud recommends using the libpcap sources in the nessus source code.
