I attempted to install Cloudmin (cloudmin-gpl-debian-install.sh) on a Rackspace VPS (cloud server) using Debian 5.0 (Lenny) with Webmin/Virtualmin preinstalled and received the following error:
E: Couldn't find package libc6-xen .. install failed
Package libc6-xen does not exist in the Lenny repositories
cat /proc/version yields:

I received this comment from Rackspace support:
"... you wont be able to virtualize on our para-virtualized systems."

That's correct .. Cloudmin is for managing and creating virtual systems using Xen, so you can't run it on a system that is already a Xen VPS. So it is not surprising that the libc6-xen package is missing.
You can only install it on a real machine.
