metasploit+openvas error

Question

switched to openvas a couple days, is open and does the job.. so far so good, but I hit a wall.. with metasploit I load the module, I log in, fine.. but when I run some tasks I get some errors.. I think the plugin needs to be update..

[*] Importing report to database.

Seems like nobody is maintaining the code for openvas plugin? anyone has experienced this? if I sed that file for the timeout objet and sed it to Timeout.timeout will it work?

thanks in advance.

ok so I went ahead and did try and that seem to have worked now no error.

so

vim /usr/share/metasploit/lib/openvas/openvas-omp.rb

and change the line where timeout to Timeout.timeout

openvas]$ ruby -c openvas-omp.rb 
Syntax OK
