I've just rolled out Virtualmin virtual-server module version 3.79 to all repositories.

in Ubuntu 08.04LTS repositories: - aptitude doesn't see the commercial 3.79 - but installs with GPL versions see the 3.79

Are you sure it's rolled out ?

It should be out there .. at least, my test systems see it.

What does the /etc/apt/sources.list file contain on your system?

Actually, it does look like it's missing from 8.04, though I'm not entirely sure how that happened. Fixing now.

OK, I think this is fixed now.

However on first server trying to update I got:

Preparing to replace webmin-virtual-server 3.78 (using .../webmin-virtual-server_3.79_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement webmin-virtual-server ...
Setting up webmin-virtual-server (3.79) ...

Error: Webmin server did not write new PID file
Error

Press return to continue.

I had to do this to restart:

# /etc/init.d/webmin start
# /etc/init.d/webmin stop
Stopping Webmin server in /usr/share/webmin
kill: 4: No such process

# ps aux | grep webmin

# /etc/init.d/webmin start

The next 2 ones went ok, will now observe how they behave before doing the rest tomorrow.

That can happen sometimes if Webmin is shut down but doesn't start up properly..

It is rare, but unfortunately we have not yet worked out the underlying cause :-(
