Bug Description
When installing the `gvm` package on a fully installed and updated Ubuntu 23.04 instance, the GSA package does not install properly. Also, the GVM packages are out of date.
The output of `gvm-check-setup` returns:
Step 7: Checking if GVM services are up and running ...
OK: ospd-openvas service is active.
OK: gvmd service is active.

ERROR: gsad service did not start.
Please check journalctl -xe and /var/log/
This is the repeated error in the `/var/log/

To add to this, I know that the Kali Linux native install packages for GVM have recently been updated to use the latest GVM packages available on GitHub. Perhaps installer for Kali Linux can provide an easy fix for this bug.
