Bug Description

The following two commands run at the command-line (the latter generated by zenmap's "Slow comprehensive scan" option) cause a failure due to missing script and library support. Apt suggests the scripts aren't in the Ubuntu archives.

Details of the missing script are at http://nmap.org/nsedoc/lib/citrixxml.html

The original script plus my attached patch are required to solve the issue.

$ apt-file search citrix | grep nselib
$

$ sudo nmap -T4 -A -v --script all 192.168.0.20
$ sudo nmap -sS -sU -T4 -A -v -PE -PP -PS21,22,23,25,80,113,31339 -PA80,113,443,10042 -PO --script all 192.168.0.20

QUITTING!

Installing the script directly doesn't completely solve the issue:

$ sudo wget -O /usr/share/nmap/nselib/citrixxml.lua http://nmap.org/svn/nselib/citrixxml.lua

$ sudo nmap -T4 -A -v --script all 192.168.0.20

Applying the attached patch to the manually downloaded script allows nmap to run.
