Package scponly is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

Ok so after looking a little to the errors i have found out that i had some missing packages that virtulamin doesn't find any more in ubuntu repo so i have installed them by hand . :D
Fix:
sh ./install.sh
install packages :
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/dists/virtualmin-trusty/main/b...
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/dists/virtualmin-trusty/main/b...
wget http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libg/libgd2/libgd2-xpm_2.0...
dpkg -i procmail-wrapper_1.0-2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i scponly_4.8-4_amd64.deb
apt-get install libjpeg62
dpkg -i libgd2-xpm_2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-3.1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sh ./install.sh
Howdy,
The issue with installing virtualmin-base should now be resolved. There was a repository metadata problem that was causing it to try and install an incorrect version.
It should be working properly now, and it should no longer depend on any of the packages that were previously causing an error.
Let us know if you see any other issues... thanks!
-Eric
Copy of the log is below, there are two sections with errors:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Is there an issue in the repository again?

Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 1.1.1
WARNING:
The installation is quite stable and functional when run on a freshly installed supported Operating System.
If you have existing websites, email users, or if you manually installed Virtualmin via a Webmin 'wbm' module, you are likely to run into problems. Please read the Virtualmin Administrators Guide before proceeding if your system is not a freshly installed and supported OS.
This script is not intended to update your system! It should only be used to perform your initial Virtualmin installation. If you have previously run the Virtualmin installer, you can perform upgrades and updates from within Virtualmin itself, or using your system's package manager. Once Virtualmin is installed, you never need to run this script again.
The systems currently supported by install.sh are: CentOS and RHEL 5-6 on i386 and x86_64 Scientific Linux 6 on i386 and x86_64 Debian 6.0 and 7.0 on i386 and amd64 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 12.04 LTS, and 14.04 LTS on i386 and amd64 Amazon Linux 2012.03 on i386 and x86_64 FreeBSD 7.0 and 8 on i386 and amd64
If your OS is not listed above, this script will fail. More details about the systems supported by the script can be found here:

There is a separate topic for the Debian issue you're seeing here:

Hello Eric,
I am having a problem installing Virtualmin. It says
N: Unable to locate package virtualmin-base
Can you please let me know if this has been fixed?
Thanks!
Howdy,
The problems installing virtualmin-base should be corrected now... what distro/version are you trying to install, and are you using 32 or 64 bit?

Okay, Joe tells me this should be working now -- can you give it a try again?
-Eric
Yep, I'm now up & running. Thanks Joe & Eric!
Hi,
I am getting the same error on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 droplet on Digital Ocean. Below is the last bit of the virtualmin-install.log file.
Any clues to what went wrong?
Thanks!
Francisco

Howdy,
We're happy to help! This particular thread is pretty old though... and I think you're having a different issue.
Is there any chance you could open a new Forum post, and in that post, include the contents of your /root/virtualmin-install.log file?
That log file would contain more details about what didn't work properly, which should help us sort out why that didn't work for you.
Thanks!
-Eric
I can verify that right now, the Ubuntu 14.04 VM images in Azure have the same problem as with the OP. His original fix does work in that particular instance.
