OpenVAS fails to rebuild database after a clean install about gvmd

[salsa-dev]

I've also bumped into this on Ubuntu 16.04.
Rebuild process was hanging on generating certificate. This was due to low entropy.
Try to increase kernel entropy for GPG key generation during 'openvasmd --rebuild' install package 'haveged'

@shibumi This sounds to me more like a setup issue which should go to http://lists.wald.intevation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss

e.g. the Wiki Article on Arch https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVAS says to setup the OpenVAS related redis stuff "Post-install":

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVAS#Post-install

but this needs to be done before the initial start of openvassd. Most likely the manager has issues to connect to the scanner because its e.g. not running (due to the missing redis modifications).

Make also sure that the start of the openvassd doesn't time out / freeze due to this missing modifications:

As a side note also make sure to apply the recommended settings shown in greenbone/openvas-scanner#93

Especially the commented out "save" statements are important and might be the root cause of this issue if missing.
