Webmin problem with dpkg and update packages

[Varden]

Hello everyone,

My problem is that I cant update the packages in my VPS.

When I try to update any of the packages, it appears (example):

Now updating git ..
Installing package(s) with command apt-get -y install git ..
Setting up webmin (1.995) ...
.. install failed!

No packages were installed. Check the messages above for the cause of the error.

And also, I need to restart the server.

System information of my VPS:
Webmin version: 1.995
Virtualmin version: 7.1-1
Operating system: Ubuntu Linux 20.04.4
Kernel and CPU: Linux 3.10.0-1160.53.1.vz7.185.3 on x86_64

When I try in the command shell to install or upgrade a package ( example: apt-get install git), appears:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

And finally, when I write 'dpkg --configure -a', the server needs to be restarted.

I'm getting out of ideas about how to solve it. Thank you in advance for your help!!

Hello,

As you're running Virtualmin you should SSH to your server, download latest virtualmin-install.sh (www.virtualmin.com) script from our official website and run it with --setup param to fix repositories, i.e.:

sh virtualmin-install.sh --setup

Then run:

dpkg --configure -a

and then run:

apt-get upgrade -y
