Looking into this now ..
Where is /var/share/webmin coming from though?? Normally on Debian the install path is /usr/share/webmin

Right which has me confused -- the server has always been debian so I have no idea what happened here. In fact I installed debian 5.0 when Nick got it.
Please make sure the upgrade didn't break something because of this, it's heaven.openstream.ch and you still have login rights.

I see the cause .. /usr/share/webmin is a link to /var/share/webmin
Was that intentional? It is likely to cause a bunch of problems (such as this one), as it confuses Webmin as to the location of it's base directory.

I never did this... this was a fresh server that I setup a few months ago using debian 5.0 so I have no idea how or why this happened

Oh wait -- I did do this. I asked about moving the install directory because I was having a partition problem and I think Joe said I could move it and use a symlink.

Do you have enough free disk space now to move it back again?
I'm certain I wouldn't have suggested a symlink for the Webmin install directory (because I've seen this problem myself in the distant past).

Ok I'll change it back then
Submitted by JamieCameron on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 23:25 Comment #9
I'd suggest doing the following :
1 - Delete the symlink
2 - mv /var/share/webmin /usr/share/webmin
3 - cd /usr/share/webmin ; ./setup.sh
The last step is needed to update any paths in files under /etc/webmin to use /usr/share/webmin

I did that already
Submitted by JamieCameron on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 23:35 Comment #11
Cool .. so can you install the updates now?
Submitted by sgrayban on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 23:39 Comment #12
Those updates were installed -- I just can't check them to see if they didn't break because of the wrong path.
Submitted by JamieCameron on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 23:42 Comment #13
The only part that might possibly have failed (according to those errors) was the post-install scripts, which aren't critical for upgrades of those packages.
If dpkg thinks they didn't complete properly, you can try the command :
dpkg -a --configureIf that doesn't fail, all is OK.
Submitted by sgrayban on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 23:45 Comment #14
No errors so I guess its all ok
Submitted by sgrayban on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 23:48 Comment #15
BTW the in the miniserv.conf the root= variable was set to /var/share/webmin so I shouldn't have gotten a error since that was set unless you have /usr/share/webmin hard coded in.
root=/var/share/webmin
Submitted by JamieCameron on Tue, 01/05/2010 - 00:00 Comment #16
Yes, the Debian packages are hard-coded to use /usr/share/webmin

I think I'm seeing the same issue...webmin-security-updates: Errors were encountered while processing: libapache2-mod-php5 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
.. install failed!
How do I tell if I have this symlink?
Submitted by sgrayban on Thu, 01/07/2010 - 08:28 Comment #18
That is not the same.
Do the upgrade from console to see all the errors
Submitted by JamieCameron on Thu, 01/07/2010 - 11:29 Comment #19
Yes, try running :
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5as root from the console.
