I just installed BT4 r1 today. Out of old habit I did a apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, and noticed nothing wrong. Not paying attention, I guess.
However, later I discovered there's no "OpenVAS Server" entry in the OpenVAS menu anymore. I assumed it was a glitch, and tried starting openvasd from the command line, but the file was not found.
I then decided to backtrace my steps:
PHP Code:
root@bt:~# cat /var/log/apt/term.log |grep -i openvas-server
Preparing to replace openvas-server 2.0.2-bt0 (using .../openvas-server_2.0.3-bt0_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement openvas-server ...
Setting up openvas-server (2.0.3-bt0) ...
dpkg: openvas-server: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request:
openvas-menu depends on openvas-server (>= 2.0.3).
Removing openvas-server ...

Package openvas-server is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
openvas-menu
E: Package openvas-server has no installation candidate
root@bt:~# apt-get install openvas-menu

openvas-menu is already the newest version.

No, I did not mess with the repositiories, only using the defaults.
EDIT: Seems like I jumped to conclusions. I reinstalled, and noticed the same problem again, even before running apt-get. Then I checked the live cd: The errors in the apt log are also there, so this was broken by default.
