Can't install virtualmin on fresh Debian Lenny system

Submitted by DenisMonsieur on Fri, 08/27/2010 - 13:24

See the install log. The install fails at this point (from console):

INFO - Installing Virtualmin and all related packages now using the command: INFO - /usr/bin/apt-get --config-file apt.conf.noninteractive -y --force-yes install virtualmin-base ...in progress, please wait... -E: Couldn't find package virtualmin-base /usr/bin/apt-get --config-file apt.conf.noninteractive -y --force-yes install virtualmin-base failed. Error (if any): 0

Displaying the last 15 lines of /root/virtualmin-install.log to help troubleshoot this problem:

Somehow it can't find the package virtualmin-base, while connecting to software.virtualmin.com is no problem. I've installed virtualmin on many systems before, so I'm guessing there's something wrong with the virtualmin-base package?

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Does it still fail if you run the install script again?

Also, could you attach the /root/virtualmin-install.log file to this bug report?

Still fails, same error.

The attached file in the first post is /root/virtualmin-install.log but I had to rename it .txt because .log files can't be attached.

If you like, I can login and try an install myself and check what is going wrong. Unfortunately the error from apt-get isn't really saying why it is failing ..

If that is possible, please email me login details at jcameron@virtualmin.com

Thanks for the login - I had a look, and found a bug in the install script that effects Debian 5.0.5 (which you are running). We previously only tested on the 5.0 version, so didn't notice it.

I ran the install after patching this on your system, and it appeared to complete just fine!
