Getting OpenVAS running on Ubuntu 11.10

A couple of quick hints, basically an unofficial update to the official installation instructions located here.

The correct add-apt-repository command is:
add-apt-repository "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/OpenVAS:/STABLE:/v4/xUbuntu_11.10/ ./"
I didn't bother to find the correct GPG key, though; I skipped the key import and used the "force" option with apt-get update.

You will need to go into the "Manage Repositories" screen an uncheck the "Source" repository that was automagically added.  I'm sure there's a fancy command for this, but again, going with what works, here.  You must do this prior to the apt-get update command.
