Hmm, I don't see any actual errors in that output.

Can you attach a copy of your "/root/virtualmin-install.log" file to this thread? It may contain some additional clues.

Also, how much RAM is in your server? Sometimes, not having enough RAM can cause problems during the installation.

Lastly, is it definitely Debian 5 you're working with? Debian 6 was released last week, but it's not supported by Virtualmin quite yet.

Looks like the failure is :

/usr/bin/apt-get --config-file apt.conf.noninteractive -y --force-yes install postfix postfix-pcre webmin usermin ruby libapache2-mod-ruby libxml-simple-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl unzip zip libfcgi-dev postfix-tls failed.

I agree that seeing the whole install log would be useful ..

Interesting, it looks like it pretty much completed .. except for the final step of re-checking Webmin modules.

How much RAM does your system have?

Also, if you SSH in and run dpkg --configure virtualmin-base , does it report any errors?
