We do have Requires(pre): /usr/bin/perl in the RPM spec though.

That's strange. I'll do some testing.

[BlueH2O]

The RPM has Requires(pre) /usr/bin/perl but the scriptlet just uses 'perl.' I would guess that at this point in the transaction it can't find it. I'm not sure I can test that further with what I have on-hand. FWIW this was on a minimal install Rocky Linux 8.6.

Does it happen if you try devel version of Webmin 1.995?

Also, does it help if before installing Webmin you disable SELinux temporarily?
