And then inspecting the pre/post scripts, it's easy to see that the problem is with the
way the scripts try to match the Linux version.
On Pidora, /etc/redhat-release contains "Pidora release 2014 (Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix)"
So, I moved that over to /etc/redhat-release- and make /etc/redhat-release contain
the usual "Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug)"
Then...
[root@pidora ~]# rpm -Uvh webmin-1.730-1.noarch.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%]
Operating system is Fedora Linux
Updating / installing...
1:webmin-1.730-1 ################################# [100%]
Webmin install complete. You can now login to http://pidora.local:10000/
as root with your root password.
And then I moved /etc/redhat-release- back to /etc/redhat-release.
Seems to work!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
i think they identified the issues to do with the 1.730 release which needs additional files added in order to identify their respective OSes and thus support them (as they are deriviatives of already supported OSes).

I want to install Webmin on Korora 19.1 https://kororaproject.org/korora-19-1-released/ korora-19.1-x86_64-gnome-live.iso .
I tried Using the Webmin YUM repository and Installing the RPM.
Both ways I get a message:
rpm -U /home/xxx/Downloads/webmin-1.660-1.noarch.rpm
Unable to identify operating system
Fehler: %pre(webmin-1.660-1.noarch) Scriptlet fehlgeschlagen, Beenden-Status 2
Fehler: webmin-1.660-1.noarch: installieren fehlgeschlagen
Both ways installation fails.
How to install webmin on Korora 19.1 ?
Regards
AW
Installation with webmin-1.660.tar.gz successful. Please add Fedora remix Korora to list of known operating systems.
/etc/issue contains:
Korora release 19 (Bruce)
Kernel \r on an \m (\l)

Seeing the same issue with Pidora (Fedora 20 remix for the Raspberry Pi) right now.

Gus,
