I could only install Virtualmin on Centos but never on Debian/Ubuntu.
I followed the steps mentioned on Virtualmin website.

Howdy,
Could you attach your /root/virtualmin-install.log file?
That would contain some info we could use for debugging the issue you're seeing.
Thanks!

Ah, it looks like you have some third party repositories enabled, which can cause problems like what you're seeing.
Our recommendation would be to perform your installation using a fresh install, with no third party repositories enabled. Third party repositories can cause package conflicts and other unexpected problems.
If you can, I'd suggest performing a fresh install of your OS, followed by attempting the Virtualmin installation again.
Alternatively, you could always try just disabling your third party repositories, and seeing if it's able to complete the install at that point.

I am always trying to fresh install my OS at VPS.
Can you post me the sequence of commands to perform Webmin and Virtualmin installation on a fresh install of Debian 6 or Ubuntu 12.04.
Following the Webmin/Virtualmin website didn't work for me but perfectly working on CentOS.
Thanks
Well, the output you listed above makes reference to the dotdeb repository, which isn't enabled in a fresh install of Ubuntu or Debian.
Are you by chance using a VPS image? If so, it's possible your VPS provider is setting up a third party repository for you by default.
What is the output of this command:
find /etc/apt | xargs grep dotdebAnd this command:
cat /etc/apt/sources.listFor find /etc/apt | xargs grep dotdeb
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all/etc/apt/sources.list:deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
Binary file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg~ matches
Binary file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg matches
/etc/apt/sources.liste:deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
/etc/apt/sources.liste:deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all

deb http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
Yeah, that's a non-standard repository setup in your sources.list file... dotdeb is a third party repo, not one that comes with Debian or Ubuntu.
That was either enabled after the distro was installed, or it may have been setup by your provider if they built your distro image.
You could always try commenting out the dotdeb repo from your sources.list file and re-attempting the install.
However, if there's already dotdeb packages installed on your system, you may continue to see problems, and you may need to start with a fresh install of your distro -- and then just make sure that dotdeb is disabled before performing any package installs.
