Update instructions for Uninstalling Cloudmin

Submitted by yngens on Thu, 08/03/2017 - 00:01

The documentation page on https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/cloudmin/installation/uninstalling says:

Since Cloudmin is built on top of Webmin, un-installing it is simply a matter of removing Webmin and some additional modules. The commands for this on CentOS, Fedora or Redhat Enterprise are :

rpm -e webmin wbm-server-manager wbt-virtual-server-theme wbt-virtual-server-mobile wbm-security-updates rm /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudmin

However, running the above command gives:

rpm -e webmin wbm-server-manager wbt-virtual-server-theme wbt-virtual-server-mobile wbm-security-updates rm /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudmin
error: package rm is not installed
error: package /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudmin is not installed

when in fact the rm command is installed. So I guessed the documentation page is missing a break line or && operand, and came to conclusion the correct syntax should be:

rpm -e webmin wbm-server-manager wbt-virtual-server-theme wbt-virtual-server-mobile wbm-security-updates && rm /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudmin

So please have the documentation page corrected.

However, even with the correct syntax the above command is failing to give an error:

rpm -e webmin wbm-server-manager wbt-virtual-server-theme wbt-virtual-server-mobile wbm-security-updates && rm /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudmin
error: Failed dependencies:
webmin >= 1.420 is needed by (installed) wbm-virtualmin-sqlite-1.4-1.noarch
webmin >= 1.420 is needed by (installed) wbm-virtualmin-git-1.7-1.noarch
/usr/libexec/webmin is needed by (installed) wbm-virtualmin-sqlite-1.4-1.noarch
/usr/libexec/webmin is needed by (installed) wbm-virtualmin-git-1.7-1.noarch

So I guess uninstalling Cloudmin is not that straightforward and simple as the documentation page suggests. So please update it with the additional steps to preliminarily remove the dependencies first.

Thanks!

Well, after running the

rpm -e wbm-virtualmin-sqlite-1.4-1.noarch && rpm -e wbm-virtualmin-git-1.7-1.noarch

command I gave another try to the above command just to get:

rpm -e webmin wbm-server-manager wbt-virtual-server-theme wbt-virtual-server-mobile wbm-security-updates && rm /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudmin

rm: cannot remove ‘/etc/yum.repos.d/cloudmin’: No such file or directory

So the last part of the oneliner command on the documentation page should be corrected to:

rm /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudmin.repo

Howdy -- yeah there was a formatting error that was causing those lines not to display properly, but that's been corrected. Thanks for the heads up!

And yeah those instructions just show how to remove Cloudmin; if there's Virtualmin packages installed, that would indeed prevent removal of the Webmin package.

It sounds like you got things working, but feel feel free to let us know if you have any questions, or if you run into any additional issues!
