phpmyadmin: Could not work out exact PHP version

Trying to use Virtualmin to upgrade phpMyAdmin script from 3.1.0 to 3.1.1 after Virtualmin notified me that the upgrade was available, however, I get the following message:

Upgrading phpMyAdmin to version 3.1.1 .... failed dependencies : Could not work out exact PHP version

"Programs" identifies the PHP version as 5.2.0

Thinking the issue might be restricted to the upgrade, I uninstalled the script for one site, but discovered I get the same message when installing the script.
