Hello,

I’m using ospd-openvas version 20.8.0 and when I try to start the daemon, I receive this strange error about redis version that should be >= 3.0.1. I’ve Redis version 5 installed, therefore I don’t understand why this error happen and stop me to start the ospd-openvas process, thanks.

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The ‘redis>=3.0.1’ distribution was not found and is required by ospd-openvas

Regards,

If you are using a debian based system you need to install the python3-redis package.

Sorry I don’t know the package name to install the required redis python library for your distribution.

Thanks for your reply. It’s the same name as on Debian. Problem solved by installing the python3-redis package on RPM system.
