[Open-scap] OpenSCAP Error: OVAL object not correctly defined

[Rocio Romero]

Hi Jan,

Sorry about my late response to you now. 

I reinstalled the packages and the problem was solved. It worked after the third or fourth installation… I have no idea what happened there.

Anyway, thank you so much for your answer! :) 

I will let you know if this problem come back to my on any of my servers.

Thanks

Rocio
