I've got a standard ubuntu LTS 10.04 x64 setup with all the packages up-to-date. On trying to install openvas-server I received the following error:
Unpacking libopenvasnasl2 (from .../libopenvasnasl2_2.0.2-2_amd64.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package openvas-server.

Purged and tried to install it again but doesn't work.
