I was indeed using Debian 10 Buster. I noticed the instructions have changed accordingly. I spun up a Debian 11 Bullseye VM from a Debian Bullseye netinst ISO and attempted running the updated instructions provided in the Greenbone Docs.
The postgresql-server-dev-11 package isn’t available in the Debian Bullseye repos. It results in the following message during the gvmd section:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package postgresql-server-dev-11
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
It causes this further down the line when compiling:

Another package changed names from python-impacket to python3-impacket:
Package python-impacket 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:
python3-impacket
E: Package 'python-impacket' has no installation candidate
As the instructions are currently written, gvmd fails to compile on Debian 11 Bullseye (Stable) for me.
Thanks again for your efforts. Just trying to get this all sorted out.
