However, you can still install it from source using a similar method. You just have to be sure you have all of the dependencies. I would recommend leaving it at version 2 for now (it is supported for at least another year). You will be using the same NVT feed and therefore be able to run the same tests.</del> Sorry, it's been a while since I looked at Backtrack. Apparently version 4 is Debian based.

Sorry, it’s been a while since I looked at Backtrack. Apparently version 4 is Debian based. You can take a look at my post on Installing OpenVAS 3 on Ubuntu 9.10. The procedure should be similar.
