#5012 Error installing webmin in OpenVZ 7

[jmginer]

Webmin can not be installed in OpenVZ 7
OpenVZ 7 is a baremetal system, but based in CentOS 7.

# rpm -Uhv webmin-1.850-1.noarch.rpm

What does the /etc/issue file contain on this system?

[jmginer]

[root@ns1015 ~]# cat /etc/issue
Dear Virtuozzo user!

vzkernel: \r

Use the following hostname and IP address to connect to this server:

\n

Is there some file under /etc named like *-release that contains the OS name and version?

[jmginer]

# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Virtuozzo"
VERSION="7.0.6"
ID="virtuozzo"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="7"
PRETTY_NAME="OpenVZ release 7.0.6"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:virtuozzoproject:vz:7"
HOME_URL="http://www.virtuozzo.com"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.openvz.org/"

[Jamie Cameron]

Is that the only /etc/*-release file ? Normally I'd expect there to be one like /etc/virtuozzo-release

[jmginer]

Thanks - this will be detected properly in the next Webmin release.

When can we expect the fixed release? As I'm also struggling installing Webmin on my Virtuozzo Servers:

[root@bl13 dl]# cat /etc/redhat-release          
Virtuozzo Linux release 7.3
[root@bl13 dl]# rpm -i webmin-1.850-1.noarch.rpm 
warning: webmin-1.850-1.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 11f63c51: NOKEY

If you download the 1.853 version from http://www.webmin.com/devel.html , it should include this fix.

Dev Version is working - thx! ;-)
