I am not sure if this will help your issue. But I received the same error
because the old Nessus install was running. I used the package manager to
remove the previous install, and then reinstalled the new version of Nessus
and the error was resolved. Alternatly, you should be able to stop the
service and then do the install and it should have the same effect. I have
Nessus 3 installed on Ubuntu and it is working great!
hope that this was helpful.
