first attempt in Virtualmin → Manage Web Apps
pages of errors starting with:
Installing package libtemplate-perl ..
and finally giving up with
Now installing Bugzilla version 5.2 ..
Bugzilla dependency problems detected
failed...
do I just need to do
``` /usr/bin/perl install-module.pl --all
then try again or something else?
this will not affect other VS on this VM will it ?
I’m not sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve installed Bugzilla.
You generally should not mix up random CPAN installed modules with system Perl modules installed from packages (though Perl handles this more gracefully than some languages, you can still break stuff).
For a Perl application running as a user, like Bugzilla, I would give you the same advice I gave for Python: Give the app its own Perl and libs. There are tools for that (plenv, App:Virtualenv, etc.).
For the web app installer in Virtualmin we’d like to fix it, of course…if you can figure out what dependency is missing, we can probably add it to the dependencies we deal with.
Thanks, well warned I do not wish to break this VM. (I have backup - of course) but it is live and so a restore not ideal.
digging deeper gives me a list of the issues most seem “optional” but a few seem rather critical.
Also not knowing Bugzilla I could be just as happy finding an alternative (PHP or NodeJS based or anything easier).

It should be available later today. Or, maybe you can get it right now by manually checking for updates on the “System Settings ⇾ Web App Installers → Installer Updates” page.
