Hi,
I'm attempting an install of the Pro version of Virtualmin on a Ubuntu 12.04 system but am running into an error I can't work around. Any help on this matter available would be appreciated.
Below is part of the install.sh output.
INFO - Succeeded. 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... .......No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already .E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Howdy,
Hmm, that's an odd error... I haven't run into that before!
Poking around on Google, it sounds like that means apt/dpkg is crashing for some reason.
Is this by chance an OpenVZ-based VPS? We've seen some unusual issues on OpenVZ.
Also, what does the command "df -h" output?
Additionally, you can see an AskUbuntu question on what that issue is here:

The system in running on VMware vSphere.

I had read the AskUbuntu article as well but don't thinks its relevant as our kernel list only has a couple entries in it.
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
I ran:
dpkg-reconfigure -a
and it seemed to correct whatever issue there was with the packages database.
