Package nessus 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:
  openvas-client

E: Package 'nessus' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package nessusd

sudo nessus-adduser Add a new nessusd user

sudo: nessus-adduser: command not found

sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd start

 /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --register xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
bash: /opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch: No such file or directory

tool@tool-Inspiron-530:~$ /usr/bin
bash: /usr/bin: Is a directory

I just went to Tenable network website, searched for Ubuntu 11.04 how to install:

sudo dpkg -i Nessus-4.4.1-ubuntu1010_i386.deb

the email with 20-digit code...they say "If for some reason you uninstall your Nessus installation entirely
and decide to re-install it later on, you will need to register a second
time. Please Help

I went back and re registered at http://www.tenable.com/

this time it allowed a much bigger OS selection....ubuntu 10.10, downloaded Nessus-4.4.1-ubuntu1010_386.deb.
Tried Installing from Ubuntu Software Centre "The package is of bad quality" The installation of a package which violates the quality standards isn't allowed.
