Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [ticket:42156 mojca@…]:
 > And given that there exists the `openvas-libnasl` port and that nobody
 reported a broken port, I strongly suspect that it could make a lot more
 sense to remove these `nessus` ports unless they are still needed (but
 they aren't usable anyway).

 Regarding this point, I'm not sure what the relationship is between the
 libnasl and openvas-libnasl ports, but neither depends on the other, so
 what you do with libnasl doesn't affect openvas-libnasl. Also, all of
 openvas in MacPorts is severely outdated. Newer versions did not build and
 I could not get any help about that from the developers. See #25338. In
 the (as of 3.5 years ago) "new" version, openvas-libnasl no longer exists.
 See #25340.
