          Maintainer probably has other priorities or has lost
            interest.  This could 
          indicate that there is now something better (for the
            maintainer's use case), 
          have a look at https://alternativeto.net/software/openvas/ and 
          https://linuxsecurity.expert/tools/openvas/ . 
            Openvas is sort of a jack of 
          all trades, so there may be another tools that is better
            for your use case.

            Hi!

            
            Thank you for the answers. Didn't find that 1st link George
            mentioned,

            and reading it quickly didn't really get what to do. I'll
            look into it

            deeper probably tomorrow. Now doing the --releasever=30
            gives me this

            initially:

            
            Errors during downloading metadata for repository
            'updates-modular':

              - Downloading successful, but checksum doesn't match

            like 3 times.

            
            A second attempt seemed to work but is downgrading git,
            foomatic and a

            lot of other perl packages.

            
            Still downloading at this stage but wanted to say thank you
            and

            hopefully everything will be running tomorrow.

            
            Now should I file a bug for F31 or not?

          
          Have you checked bugzilla and the openvas site?  If
            anyone other than 
          you uses openvas there may already be a bug report with
            some indication 
          of the underlying issues.  If you decide you need openvas
            it would be useful 
          to try either building it directly from source or
            building your own rpms so you 
          can document the problems in your bug report.  Depending
            on the nature of 
          the problem you may find it better to file a bug report
            with the upstream 
          developer.

    Dear George,

    
    Following Jerry's post about it I did add a comment to the existing
    bug. I might also try to compile from source and see what it gives.
    

    Thank you again for the support.

    
    Fred
