Please do note that Greenbone isn’t maintaining / involved in this gvm-check-setup script (it is provided by the Kali package maintainers) and this might be also a bug in this script. You could post an issue in https://bugs.kali.org and ask for a review of your issue / this script.
The original problem seems to be originating from an issue in the Kali packages according to 0007433: GVM is not installed - Kali Linux Bug Tracker :
FTR the postrgresql packages come from Debian Testing and the packages required for gvmd did not migrate at the same time in Debian Testing so in Kali too.
and seems to have been solved in Kali with:
I will update the gvmd package for postgresql version 14 to fix this
I have updated the package. Please update your system.
The fixed versions are:
- gvmd version 21.4.4-0kali2
- postgresql-common version 231
You may need to upgrade the postgresql clusters to version 14 (see “/usr/share/doc/postgresql-common/README.Debian.gz”, section “Default clusters and upgrading” for details)
