Could not connect to Scanner when running scans.

gvmd.service is running gsad.service is running ospd-openvas.service says activating

sudo gvmd --get-scanners returns nothing

Hi,

Same problem with RockyLinux 8.6, since last update, the osp-openvas.service hang

juil. 26 11:48:47 s029 systemd[1]: Started Job that runs the ospd-openvas daemon.
juil. 26 11:48:48 s029 ospd-openvas[1902]: Traceback (most recent call last):

problem with python module lxml.etree ?

So,

I don't understand why, but in my system, there was python 3.6.x et 3.8.x installed And the default one was 3.6.x

# dnf list installed python3?
Paquets installés
python36.x86_64                                         3.6.8-38.module+el8.5.0+671+195e4563                                          @appstream
python38.x86_64                                         3.8.12-1.module+el8.6.0+794+eba84017                                          @appstream

so I do this

# alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3.8
# alternatives --set python3 /usr/bin/python3.8
# python -V
Python 3.8.12
# python3 -V
Python 3.8.12
# systemctl restart ospd-openvas
# systemctl status ospd-openvas.service

and scanner is running
