When I run sudo apt-get install nessus or nessusd I get line after line of the following.

Can't stat source package list (different path are listed here)

Then it says to run

apt-get update to fix the problem

it seams the backport.ubuntuforurms are the ones that fail. Can anyone point me in a direction to fix this problem?

Thanks

Yes there is a fix :-P.

Remove all of the backports.ubuntuforums.org repo's in your /etc/apt/sources.list

Replace them with:


deb ftp://ftp2.caliu.info/backports/ hoary-backports main universe multiverse restricted
deb ftp://ftp2.caliu.info/backports/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted


Then all you need to do is apt-get update, and voila. Nessus away!
