Thank you, Fernandez, after inserting the line: deb http://people.debian.org/~jfs/nessus/2.0.0 ./
and then only typing : apt-get install nessus apt-get install nessusd everything works fine. My last question for now: What is the reason for using the debian packages instead of using the original distributed .sh self extracting file? Thank you very much jens melle. -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Javier Fernandez-Sanguino [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 3.

My fault, your /etc/apt/sources.list should be deb http://people.debian.org/~jfs/nessus/2.0.0 ./ Please check it is (not deb-src) and try again after an 'apt-get update' Regards Javi Melle, Jens wrote: > 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. > > > > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Javier Fernandez-Sanguino [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 27.
