Installation Failures on Debian 5

I've searched the forums in vain for any help in regards to the following...I'm a total nOOb, so please forgive my ignorance!

Tried this several times on a clean install of Debian 5 x64 and get the following error(s):

host1:~# sh install.sh

Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 1.0.3

WARNING:

The installation is quite stable and functional when run on a freshly installed supported Operating System, but upgrades from existing .wbm- based systems, or systems that already have Apache VirtualHost directives or mail users, will very likely run into numerous 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 install Virtualmin, on a supported OS. If you have previously installed Virtualmin via this script or the GPL version of this script, upgrades and updates should be handled within Virtualmin itself. Once Virtualmin is installed, you never need to run this script again.

The systems currently supported by install.sh are: CentOS 4 and 5 on i386 and x86_64 Debian 4.0 and 5.0 on i386 and amd64 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 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:

Then, reading the post at http://www.virtualmin.com/node/9768, I tried adding the suggested sources to my sources.list file and then ran:

apt-get update apt-get install virtualmin-base

and got the following error(s):

It's all very strange, because on the very first attempt, I did get errors, but was able to get into Webmin, albeit without any theme, and was able to get that straightened out, only to choke on the mail settings (I think because of memory issues). I upped my memory allocation with my VPS host, but since have not had even partial success in installing Virtualmin.

Thank you for your help!
