virtualmin and wheezy

hi,

i tried to install virtualmin GPL on a debian wheezy and it seems there is a dependency issue on packages about scponly. Does anyone has a solution to this ? I know wheezy is here since a few days so that will be fixed, just wanted to play with it on the meantime :)

regards, Ghislain.

Howdy,

Yeah there's a few more changes we're working on before Debian 7 is formally supported. Once of those is that scponly isn't offered as a package anymore.. we'll need to remove that from the dependency list.

Im ready to update my Virtualmin Pro from Debian 6.0 squeeze to Debian 7.0 wheezy.

I want an auto update script or update from the main menu of virtualmin pro.

i was about to ask just for basic scheduling of our upgrade if this is in the pipe for something like a week, a month or much more. If you have any frame that would help us to schedule ourself :)

would you know if its at all possible to install virtualmin on wheezy via the virtualmin software repositories rather than the install script?

i.e http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/dists/virtualmin-wheezy/

i've tried manually adding the repo, but getting:

Conflicting distribution: http://software.virtualmin.com virtualmin-wheezy Release (expected virtualmin-wheezy but got virtualmin-squeeze)

so im assuming that isnt working either yet?

no depedancy issues will be the same.

yes! you are very correct. seems the repository was updated yesterday to show debian 7 in the Releases file... but when installing virtualmin-base:

"The following packages have unmet dependencies: virtualmin-base : Depends: scponly but it is not installable"

suppose we'll just have to wait until webmin/vmin devs are done :(

Sorry, it's almost ready... we'll post an announcement once it is :-)

Alternatively, if you just really really want it to work now (knowing that it's not completed or tested), you could always grab the scponly package from Debian 6, which installs cleanly on Debian 7.

Hey, when you do post the Debian 7 announcement, will there be an updated "how to" or is this post:

http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/system/os/debian-squeeze-to-whee...

the correct steps to use??

Thx!!!

Hi The repository should be good now. Be sure to update before upgrade. Preference for apt-get rather than aptitude for dist-upgrades

Hi Guys,

just to let you know... there is still a "scponly" dependency being looked for in debian wheezy when using the new install.sh

i've downloaded the install script a few minutes ago. to get the install to work properly on debian wheezy, i had to remove scponly from the dep list inside install.sh

specifically from this part of install.sh:

Debian

debdeps="postfix postfix-pcre webmin usermin ruby libapache2-mod-ruby libxml-simple-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl unzip zip libfcgi-dev bind9 spamassassin spamc procmail libnet-ssleay-perl libpg-perl libdbd-pg-perl libdbd-mysql-perl quota iptables openssl python mailman subversion ruby irb rdoc ri mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common postgresql postgresql-client awstats webalizer dovecot-common dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d proftpd libcrypt-ssleay-perl awstats clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav clamav-freshclam clamav-docs clamav-testfiles libapache2-mod-fcgid apache2-suexec-custom scponly apache2 apache2-doc libapache2-svn libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules sasl2-bin php-pear php5 php5-cgi libgd2-xpm libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql"

ok, and has now just failed with:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: virtualmin-base : Depends: scponly but it is not installable WARN - apt-get seems to have failed. Are you sure your OS and version is supported? WARN - http://www.virtualmin.com/os-support

oddly enough.. im running a second install on a rackspace VPS as i speak, and scponly seems to be available on their local repository for wheezy. will try another package repository and see what happens.

Tue, 05/28/2013 - 03:56 (Reply to #18)
kthaker

getting similar scponly issues from other repositories. so have copied the scponly deb package from apt cache on the server which worked. and all good for now...

if anyone else is having issues.. search for a deb package called scponly_4.8-4.1_amd64.deb on a search engine, then install it manually using dpkg -i BEFORE running install.sh

I had an install that worked but i had to do it in two times:

1/ run the install => fails 2/ remove ipv6 in the dovecot and postfix configuration 3/ run the install again => success

Dovecot and postfix are filled with ipv6 thing and as i have no ipv6 on the machine they fail to start and therefor prevent the install from working.

best regards, Ghislain.

Howdy,

The installer does indeed have scponly as a dependency... however, what we did was add the old scponly package to the Virtualmin wheezy repository.

What you're describing makes it sound like there may be a problem with that.

If you got a dependency error regarding scponly, were you installing Virtualmin GPL or Pro? And what architecture are you using, 32 or 64 bit? You can determine that by running "uname -a".

Thanks,

-Eric

sorry about that.. i forgot to mention that it is virtualmin GPL that i was installing on a 64bit wheezy OS. SMP Debian 3.2.41-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux

i managed to get it working eventually by installing an scponly package i found (which i believe originally came from squeeze). basically installed scponly using dpkg, then install.sh worked fine from there.

not sure if this has been fixed yet.. but if you are still having issues.. download latest scponly package from here:

http://glug.nith.ac.in/ubuntu/archives/pool/universe/s/scponly/

install it manually with dpkg...then run install.sh again. you should be fine then.

Mon, 06/03/2013 - 07:11

Hopefully Joe has that all fixed up!

But if there is still a problem, the package is available in the Virtualmin GPL repo here:

http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/dists/virtualmin-wheezy/main/b...

http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/dists/virtualmin-wheezy/main/b...

Those packages are simply the scponly packages from Debian 6.

thanks, i can confirm that the installer script is working fine now. i installed 2 new wheezy servers the last few days, and scponly is being installed off the vmin repository now.

Hi,

I've been having trouble installing using install.sh on Debian 7. (using up to date copies of the install file).

It fails wilth the scponly eorror as well as others, (sorry, I didn't make a note of the other packages and now I am so far on I can't remember what they are).

I fixed this by manually adding the repo's my self to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-wheezy main deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-universal main

The first fail was on a V.M. on my laptop (Acer Travelmate 7720 - 2ghz dual core with 2gig R.A.M. running OSE Virtualbox). The second on a Dell Precision 470 (dual processor 2.4ghz 4gig R.A.M.)

In both cases manually adding the repo's to the sources list worked, but the install didn't work as expected, in fact is unusalble due to it giving me errors once in the G.U.I. (https://localhost:10000/) - File not found for most of the pages and when clicking on the Webmin module it appears in the left hand pane!

Any ideas what's going wrong anyone, is it anything to do with this thread?

UPDATE!!! The last problem is now solved, I hadn't unblocked the siye/G.U.I. in NoScript... doh! So it seems to be working as it should now, though there's still the problem of it not installing correctly. (I'm wondering what other similar mistakes I made whilst installing now! :-/ )
