#5052 Strange Install of 1.870
Hi Jamie,
during the 1.870 the following message was displayed,
I do not know what this means, and if everything was normal.
May be you could verify.

Setting up webmin (1.870) ...
Configuration file '/etc/init.d/webmin'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** webmin (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing package webmin (--configure):
EOF on stdin at conffile prompt
Errors were encountered while processing:
webmin
Installed v1.870 and received same error as above. Then, I ran Update Packages. At the very top of Update Packages output, the error message is repeated again.
As apt-get proceeds, I see:
37 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After the last regular package update is installed, the error seems to be resolved:

Webmin install complete. You can now login to https://...:10000/
as root with your root password, or as any user who can use sudo
to run commands as root.
yes confirm,
what is reported above,
just the end solution, did not appear on my system as far as i remember.
cheers mike
That message is harmless - it looks like the upgrade worked fine.
