In Ubuntu (or Debian for that matter) in order to have Nessus you have multiple options.

1) Build Nessus from source with the install script, you will need to have the following development pacakges installed:


- For nessus-libraries: libz-dev, libpcap0.8-dev | libpcap-dev, flex, bison, libssl-dev

- For libnasl: libgmp3-dev, libz-dev, libssl-dev, bison

- For nessus-core: xlibs-dev, libgmp3-dev, libz-dev, libpcap0.8-dev | libpcap-dev, libglib1.2-dev, libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev, libgd-gif1-dev, libwrap-dev, libssl-dev

- For nessus-plugins: libgmp3-dev, libz-dev, libpcap0.8-dev | libpcap-dev, nmap, libnet1-dev

2) _Or_ you can use the Ubuntu packages for Nessus (based on the Debian packages, they are just recompiled). For example: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/admin/nessus (that's the client)
It seems that only 2.2.3 packages are available (for hoary)

3) _Or_ you can point to the Debian sid package archive and download the latest binary packages (2.2.5). I'm not sure if there might be incompatibilities between sid and the version of Ubuntu you are using.

3) _Or_ you can take the _source_ packages from Debian sid package archive and build them in an Ubuntu system (with dpkg-buildpackage) which should mostly work ok.

3) might be a better option when building from source than 1) since it might be easier for the system you are running. But you have to know how to build Debian packages (pointer: 'apt-get source -b XXXX', or download the source packages and run 'dpkg-source -X xxxxx.dsc ; cd xxxxx-yyy ; dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot')

2) will get you an out of date Nessus version which might work, there are known bugs in 2.2.3 which might lead to issues when downloading a registered plugin feed.

3) will get you an updated Nessus version which should work, but might introduce incompatibilities in your system since you are mixing stuff from two different (but almost compatible) OSes: Ubuntu and Debian.

Lot of choices from where to chose from :-)
