I have been able to get openvas to install by manually installing the RPM for libwhisker2 from this location:

http://www6.atomicorp.com/channels/atom ... noarch.rpm

However, I am still unsure as to how to meet the dependencies for w3af, any help would be appreciated.

[GraFfiX]

In light of issues like this one, I have chosen to have our dedicated server company provide us with a fresh installation of CentOS 6.3, and I will migrate all of our old data over to the new installation. I have to say i'm fairly excited to have access to some of the newer security software such as arachni and w3af. Thanks to anyone who may have looked at this thread and pondered on the answer.

[scott]

The nikto update yesterday resolved the libwhisker problem. W3af has a python dependency that isnt resolvable (yet!) on el5. I think we covered that in another thread already.

[digrouz]

I've tried today, and I encountered the same issue, can you tell me how I can get those packages for red hat el5: scapy, libcanberra-gtk2, PackageKit-gtk-module, python-pybloomfiltermmap , pygtksourceview?

[scott]

They do not exist on el5 I'm afraid.

[digrouz]

so the solution is not to upgrade openvas or migrate to RHEL6?

[scott]

If you need to use w3af, Id recommend using rhel6
