there seems to be a dependency problem between the openvas package and the kernel version

/http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/backtrack-howtos/35208-upgrading-backtrack-4-final-r1-backtrack-r2-2.html#post185009

what OS are you using? what kernel?

uname -a

Ok.. best guess.
First your trying to install only a piece of the OpenVAS suite. To whit, the scanner.
There's a bunch more to the suite.
However, I'd approach it like this: apt-get install openvas*
That 'should' install the entire suite and put it in your menu system.

You should probably update to r2 since you're running bt4final.
The repositories are built around r2 and bt4final is no longer supported.
That aside, you could join irc.freenode.net #backtrack-linux and ask for help there.
